The Cricket World Cup is the pinnacle of the game of cricket, where bowlers and batsmen work together to achieve success. While batsmen often grab the limelight, bowlers have played an equally important role in the history of the ICC Cricket World Cup. Over the years, several veteran bowlers have showcased their skills in the World Cup, with some even dominating the competition. Take a look at the most wickets takers in World Cup history.
Glenn McGrath Wickets in Cricket World Cup
The record of taking 71 wickets in World Cup history is in the name of former Australian veteran Glenn McGrath. McGrath has played in 3 World Cups (1996–2007). He is probably the best fast bowler to have ever been a part of the game. His line, length and swing were the strengths of his bowling. He was someone who proved himself irrespective of the conditions of the pitches. The Australian player is also the highest wicket-taker for his country across all formats (949).
Muttiah Muralitharan Wickets in Cricket World Cup
Legendary spin bowler Muttiah Muralitharan is regarded as one of the greatest spin bowlers of all time. No wonder he is second in the list of bowlers with most wickets in the World Cup. Muralitharan has played five World Cups for Sri Lanka from 1996 to 2011. He also boasts of the best economy rate (3.88) among the top wicket-takers in the tournament.
Lasith Malinga Wickets in World Cup
Lasith Malinga is currently third in the list of highest wicket takers in World Cup history. Malinga has represented Sri Lanka in four World Cups, 2007, 2011, 2015 and 2019. Malinga became the fastest player to take 50 wickets in World Cup history, surpassing the records of bowling greats Glenn McGrath and Muttiah Muralitharan. Only 30 matches.
Wasim Akram Wickets in World Cup
In the 1992 World Cup, Akram took 18 wickets in 10 matches at an average of 18.78. He bowled brilliantly throughout the tournament but his magic came to the fore in the final against England, where he took three wickets to turn the match in Pakistan’s favour.
