Top 10 Dangerous Bowler In 2024
Cricket has always been where bowlers and batsmen sort out each other's superiority. While someone like a batsman hauls in the limelight with towering sixes and centuries, the bowler is the one who brings unpredictability and thrill to the game. Several bowlers came out in previous years and turned into legends never letting the people lose their respect for skill, accuracy, and aggression. Here is a list of the top 10 most aggressive bowlers of 2024, whose great talents kept cricket fans on the edge.
1. Muttiah Muralitharan (Sri Lanka)
Muralitharan is an iconic cricketer as he was the greatest ever spinner. His ball-turning skill and variation in trajectory made him a terror to bat. He has been the master of both forms of tests - 800 Test wickets and 534 ODI wickets, which speak for themselves as his record.
2. Kagiso Rabada (South Africa)
Kagiso Rabada is the best fast bowler of his time. With the ability to bowl at very high speed and swing the ball in both directions, Rabada continues to test the best batsmen worldwide. In 228 international matches, Rabada has pocketed 519 wickets across all formats.
3. Stuart Broad (England)
Broad is another English folk hero, respected not only for his accuracy but also for the unplayable spells he bowls. He has impressive Test wicket-taking skills - 604 Test wickets to date-and, with mastery over swing, would be handy in all conditions.
4. Pat Cummins (Australia)
Fast-bowling excellence personified, an Aussie skipper outwits batters through the combination of speed, bounce, and a sharp cricketing brain. With 269 Test wickets and counting he's cemented himself as one of the world's top bowlers.
5. James Anderson (England)
The "Burnley Express" continues to negate his age with fantastic swing bowling, and there is never a parallel to his legacy that he stands as the highest wicket-taker among the fast bowlers in Test cricket with 704 wickets.
6. Jasprit Bumrah (India)
Bumrah is the best Indian paceman - has this action and deadly yorkers. He is a match-winner as he delivers when the situation calls for it. Having grabbed 159 Test wickets and 149 ODI wickets, an asset to any team.
7. Anil Kumble (India)
Kumble's consistency was relentless with his ability to extract bounce from a dead pitch. The former Indian captain won 619 Test wickets and etched his name in the pantheon of the game's greatest spinners.
8. Shaun Pollock (South Africa)
A proper line and length with the ability to bounce and make the ball come back at the batsman made Pollock one of South Africa's finest bowlers. His career statistics are just one example: 421 Test wickets and 393 ODI wickets.
9. Shane Warne (Australia)
The late Shane Warne was a magician with the ball, revolutionizing leg-spin bowling. His 708 Test wickets and countless match-winning performances make him one of the greatest cricketers of all time.
10. Brett Lee (Australia)
Now Brett Lee was the quickest, and he was one of the most dreaded bowlers at his peak. Consistency at more than 90 mph fetched him 310 Test wickets and 380 ODI wickets, and he played a big role in cementing Australia's position as the cricket world's number one side.
These bowlers have rewritten the history of cricket in terms of some extraordinary talent mixed with extraordinary adaptability to modern challenges. As cricket traveled over its ages, they became epitomes of skill and resilience within its vast history.
