The ‘Spin King’ as many people call him is the most successful Test match bowler on this list. The wily leg spinner from the land down under is the highest wicket-taker for Australia in the longest format of the game. Like his counterparts, currently, Warne is pre-occupied with his media commitments.

Growing up in a land naturally supporting pacers, the records achieved by the spinner often don’t get enough credit. The highlight of his career came when he bowled the ‘Ball of the Century’ to Mike Gatting in the Ashes. Throughout his career, he came up with new variations and caused problems for the batsmen.

In his 145 match career, Warne scalped 708 Test wickets at an average of 25.42. These included 37 five-wicket hauls and 10 ten-wicket match hauls. In this playing XI, he will share the spin duties with his Indian counterpart.
