Top 10 Leading wicket takers in Tests

2. Shane Warne (Australia) – 708:

As far as the wonderful art of leg spin is concerned, Shane Warne can be regarded as the man who brought interest back to this form of bowling. No one can argue over the fact that he was solely responsible for the revival of leg spin and bringing it back into fashion. Warne’s career was never controversy-free, he was dropped a couple of times and in addition to that he had career affecting injuries too. But, he overcame everything to finish his marvelous career with 708 wickets and emerged as the best leg spinner ever. He had 37 five-wicket hauls and 10 ten-wicket hauls. Warne had many career defining moments which have been story-ed very often, but his most memorable performance came in the 2005 Ashes series where he claimed 40 wickets in the five-match series.
