One Day International (ODI) cricket was first introduced in 1971 as Australia faced England at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG). At first, it was a 60-over-per-side match. Meanwhile, the cricket world cup was introduced first in 1974 after the limited-overs format introduced in 1971. West Indies were the first team to lift the limited-overs ICC trophy in the inaugural edition. However, it soon changed and became a 50 over per side game. Time fills and many teams had lifted the ODI trophy in different ICC tournaments rather than ICC World Cup like Champions Trophy started in 1998.

The performers on the biggest stage can make one a hero or villain in front of fans, depending upon the outcome. The ODI fixture of 2023 was a bit hectic compared to other years because of cricket's biggest festival, the 13th edition of the ODI Cricket World Cup which was recently played in India. It's time, we look at the players who have picked up the Most ODI Wickets in 2023 in this article of SportzPoint.

Kuldeep Yadav is if not best but one of the best spin bowlers in the world right now. He has already amassed 167 international wickets. Yadav showed his marvelous skills in the Asia Cup 2023, which earned him the Man of the Series award. Then he picked up 15 wickets in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 to help India reach the final. The wrist spinner has picked up 48 wickets in just 27 innings in 2023 for India in the ODI format.

Siraj is considered to be one of the best fast bowlers in the world right now. He is also ranked third in the ICC ODI bowler's ranking right now. Siraj made his debut in 2017 and has since become an integral part of the Indian bowling attack. Since then, he has shown consistent improvement in his performance and has established himself as a key player for the Indian team. Mohammed Siraj took 10 wickets and finished as the 2nd highest wicket-taker in the Asia Cup 2023. He then picked up 14 wickets in the World Cup 2023. To sum up, Mohammed Siraj has picked up 44 wickets in 24 innings in 2023.

Mohammed Shami was India's most important bowling asset in the recently played World Cup 2023. At first, he was not but he rebuilt his stature and gave his everything in the competition. Shami came, saw, and conquered. It was unfortunate that India couldn't lift the ultimate prize but Shami will be remembered surely as an Indian Bowling Legend. The veteran pacer picked up 24 wickets in just 7 matches to help India reach the Final with a dominant run.

After playing second fiddle to Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj in the first four matches of the World Cup, Shami dazzled onto the scene once given the opportunity. He was called into the side after Hardik Pandya's injury and gave it all. Shami is likely to receive the 2023 Arjuna Award after a spectacular year with 43 wickets.

Bengal has a deep-rooted passion for cricket, and the IPL offers a great opportunity to have their local talents compete at the highest level. Several players from Bengal were a part of the exciting IPL 2025 season.

Whether through match-winning spells, consistent contribution, or vital innings, their presence was always prominent in the season. Check out the full list and performance of Bengal Players in IPL 2025 along with their on-field impact.

Mohammed Shami has been a long-standing and key figure in Bengal's domestic cricketing landscape. After being ruled out of the previous IPL season (2024) due to an ankle injury, he made a comeback this year as Sunrisers Hyderabad's key pick and second-highest buy for ₹10 crore.

Shami had a somewhat mixed IPL 2025 season and struggled with consistency and his lengths. After his stellar Purple Cap-winning season in 2023, his 2025 campaign saw him take 6 wickets in 9 matches, with an economy of 11.25.

However, Shami continued to prove his excellence by becoming the only bowler in IPL history to claim a first-ball wicket 4 times. He achieved the fourth one by dismissing Shaik Rasheed in the SRH vs CSK match in the 2025 season.

He proved to be a reliable performer, delivering effective spells in death overs and under pressure. His ability to use variations and bowl yorkers with accuracy made him a key part of the team's bowling unit.

He delivered a standout performance in IPL 2025 against LSG with his 4-wicket haul and great spell, which earned him the POTM award after their victory.

Akash missed some initial games due to a back injury, and later bounced back to showcase a glimpse of his quality and experience as a fast-medium bowler.

There wasn't any particular "game-changing" performance or moment for him this season, but his contributions were a part of LSG's overall bowling efforts.

Best bowling spells in T20 World Cups | sportzpoint.com

Bowling contribution in a format like T20 matters a lot. One single good spell can crush the opponent down and turn the game completely in a blink. The T20 World Cup is a stage where some truly legendary bowlers have delivered such game-changer spells that are remembered for years!

So, let's take a look at such a fabulous class and display of bowling that goes down in history. Here are the best bowling spells in T20 World Cups:

1. Ajantha Mendis (6/8 in 4 overs) vs ZIM | 2012

  • Wickets taken: 6
  • Runs conceded: 8
  • Overs: 4.0
  • Maidens: 2
  • Economy: 2.0

The Sri Lankan mystery spinner, Ajantha Mendis, holds the record for the best bowling spell in T20 World Cup history. Playing against Zimbabwe in 2012, he achieved this feat with his carrom ball and variations, tearing through their batting lineup.

Mendis bowled 4 overs, two of which were maidens, conceding only 8 runs while picking up 6 wickets. With this extraordinary performance, he became the first and only bowler to deliver a 6-wicket haul in the T20 World Cup.

He is deserving of all the credit for Sri Lanka's dominant victory in the match and for ending the contest single-handedly.

  • Wickets taken: 5
  • Runs conceded: 3
  • Overs: 3.3
  • Maidens: 2
  • Economy: 0.85

Another spinner from Sri Lanka, Rangana Herath, has secured his position right at the 2nd spot for best bowling spells in T20 World Cups. His spell was full of unbelievable control and precision, which did not let New Zealand chase down a mere target of 120 runs.

Herath's destructive spell fetched him 5 wickets in only 3.3 overs, with two maidens. He took the first three wickets without conceding a single run, and later gave away only 2 more runs! 

His match-winning efforts collapsed the strong middle order and sealed the victory. This was a very special spell, that too, coming in the same year when Sri Lanka lifted the T20 World Cup for the first time (2014).

3. Umar Gul (5/6 in 3 overs) vs NZ | 2009

  • Overs: 3.0
  • Maidens: 0

The Pakistani pacer Umar Gul's performance against New Zealand in the 2009 T20 World Cup stands out as one of the most destructive fast-bowling spells in the tournament's history. His pinpoint yorkers and smart changes in pace dismissed the batters in quick succession.

In just 3 overs, Gul picked up 5 wickets, conceding only 6 runs. His contribution helped them restrict the opponent to 99 runs in the first innings, and he eventually bagged him the POTM trophy after their one-sided victory.

Australia's captain and one of the world's premier all-rounder, Pat Cummins, has been out for a duck 13 times in ICC events. He has been remarkable with the ball and also backed up the team as a handy lower-order batter.

However, the intense quality of bowling and pressure in ICC tournaments make the best ones falter.
