Top 5 wicket takers in ODIs in 2014

1.Mohamed Shami (India) 38 Wickets

Mohamed Shami is one of the most promising seamer and bright future prospect for India. He made his ODI debut against Pakistan in January 2013 and became the first Indian to bowl a record four maiden overs on debut. Since then Shami’s career graph has only gone upwards, and every time he comes out to bowl tries to better his previous performance. This year too, he has justified his talent and continued his good show with the ball. He picked up 38 wickets in 16 matches at an average of 22.94. Shami took 11 wickets and was the highest wicket taker in the series against New Zealand in New Zealand earlier this year. Shami has grown into India’s leading bowler and he would be a key player in MS Dhoni’s plans for the world cup 2015.
