Akeal Hosein: The Global Spin Ambassador Akeal Hosein has evolved into one of the most reliable and clever left-arm spinners in modern white-ball cricket. With a career spanning over 120 international appearances for the West Indies, Hosein has claimed more than 130 wickets on the world stage. His ability to bowl with remarkable control in the powerplay and find breakthroughs in the middle overs has made him a prized asset.
A unique “Super King” across three continents, Hosein represents Chennai Super Kings (IPL), Texas Super Kings (MLC), and Joburg Super Kings (SA20). Secured by CSK for ₹2 Crore, the Trinidadian’s blend of subtle variations and lower-order batting power provides the squad with essential tactical balance.
