#3) Waqar Younis- 416 Wickets
Another Pakistani pace legend, Waqar Younis, made a significant impact on ODI cricket with his lethal pace and deadly yorkers. Throughout his career, he claimed 416 wickets, leaving a trail of destruction in the opposition’s batting line-ups. Waqar was part of the deadly pace duo alongside Wasim Akram, terrorizing batsmen with their deadly swing and reverse swing.
His remarkable spell of 7 for 36 against England in 2001 stands as a testament to his skill and ability to single-handedly dismantle the best batting orders. With a bowling strike rate of approximately 30.5 and a bowling average of around 23.8, Waqar’s contributions were instrumental in Pakistan’s success on the global stage.
