10 bowlers with most wickets in ODIs
Most of these bowlers are also on the list of most wickets in Test cricket.
1. Muttiah Muralitharan – 534 wickets
The leading wicket-taker in the One Day format is none other than Deshabandu Muttiah Muralitharan. He was a beast in the spin department and the batters often found it very difficult to read him. Because of his unorthodox action, batters couldn’t understand the kind of delivery he was going to bowl. He managed to hide the ball which helped him pick up a lot of wickets.
With 534 scalps from 350 matches in ODI’s and 800 wickets in 133 matches in tests, Muralitharan is the leading wicket-taker in all of cricketing history. The Sri Lankan spin wizard helped the team reach two ODI finals but couldn’t manage to win any of those.
Muralitharan played his last ODI against India in the 2011 World Cup final. He continued to play IPL and also played in BBL and CPL before taking up coaching as his profession. He is still associated with Sunrisers Hyderabad as their bowling coach.
