Best Asian ODI XI among current players
There have been several players who have been consistently putting up outstanding performances in the 50-over format over the years.
10. Mohammed Shami - {IND}
Mohammed Shami has been playing ODI cricket for India for more than 10 years. Serving India in this period, he has taken 162 wickets in 90 matches at an economy of 5.60. In the 2015 World Cup, he became the fourth-highest wicket-taker in the tournament with 17 wickets in seven innings, with the best bowling innings of 4/35 against Pakistan.
The veteran is a vital cog in India’s ODI team as he reinforces India's pace attack and also spearheads the team's bowling unit in the absence of Jasprit Bumrah. The speedster grabbed 5/69 figures against England in the 2019 World Cup match in Edgbaston. The scintillating numbers in World Cup are his best performance of his ODI career.
In 2019, the pacer clinched 42 wickets in 21 ODIs at an economy of 5.36 and became the highest wicket-taker in the calendar year. His incredible bowling throughout the year got him a spot in the ICC Men’s ODI Team of the Year (2019), along with pacers such as Mitchell Starc and Trent Boult.
