WI vs IND: Top 3 wicket-takers in ODIs
Team India will take on West Indies in a three-match ODI series starting from July 22 at the Queen’s Park Oval, Port of Spain, Trinidad. Both teams have already announced their squads and it is expected to be a cracker of a series. Over the years, both countries have been involved in many memorable encounters and the fans will be expecting nothing less in the upcoming fixture as well. On that note, let us take a look at bowlers with most wickets in IND vs WI ODI matches. Let us begin:
3. Ravindra Jadeja and Anil Kumble (41 wickets)
The spin duo of Ravindra Jadeja and Anil Kumble comes third in this list with both scalping 41 wickets each. Kumble, much like Jadeja, did not turn the ball big, but possessed the skill to bowl with discipline. Meanwhile, Jadeja has also been named in the Indian squad for the upcoming ODI series and he will be looking to go past Kumble and the rest of the bowlers on this list.
2. Kapil Dev (43 wickets)
India World Cup-winning skipper and veteran Kapil Dev comes second in this list after scalping a total of 43 wickets. Kapil played as many as 225 ODI matches for India and scalped a total of 253 wickets for his side. In 1983, Kapil bowled a memorable spell against the West Indies in a Test match where he scalped a total of nine wickets in 30.3 overs.
1. Courtney Walsh (44 wickets)
West Indies express pacer Courtney Walsh comes first in this elite list after grabbing a total of 44 wickets against India. One of his memorable spells came during the Sharjah Champions Trophy. Walsh absolutely demolished the Indian batting line-up as he scalped a total of four wickets and gave just 25 runs. The Men in Maroon won that by five wickets.
