Bowlers with more than 300 wickets in ODI wins
A bowler's primary objective is to pick wickets and help his side to victories. Since the inception of limited-overs cricket, majority of rules have favored the batting side which made it increasingly difficult for bowlers to pick up wickets.
Picking up 300 wickets is a big achievement but managing to scalp 300 wickets in ODI wins alone is an incredible feat. Several bowlers who have had great starts to their ODI career have faded away. The players who feature in this list, have played for a long time and had the necessary skills to make it big on the international arena.
Let's have a look at the three bowlers who took more than 300 wickets in ODI wins for their respective sides.
#3 Glenn McGrath - 301
Glenn McGrath was one of the chief contributors for Australia's dominance in world cricket in the late 1990s and early 2000s. He represented Australia in 250 ODIs and finished as the highest wicket-taker for his country in ODI cricket with 381 wickets at an average of 22.02.
Australia won 171 of the 250 matches he was part of. During that period, he bowled 8863 deliveries, conceding 5401 runs and picked up 301 wickets at an average of 17.94 including 8 four-wicket hauls and 7 five-wicket hauls.
He is also the highest wicket-taker in World Cup history with 71 wickets and played a crucial role in all three of Australia's World cup wins in 1999, 2003 and 2007.
