Chaminda Vaas

Chaminda Vaas has accomplished something no bowler can accomplish. He made history by making the record for throwing the best inning.

In Colombo, the opening match was between Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe.

Shahid Afridi

Afridi played his best match against West Indies and took seven wickets; this match took place in Guyana on 14 July 2013. He took all the gazes present in the stadium through his extraordinary bowling skills; Afridi began his career mainly as a bowler, but after scoring the fastest century in his chaste ODI innings, more was expected of him with the bat. In 2011, he declared that he considered himself a bowler first and became the second on the list to throw the best inning in history. Pakistan bagged the victory against west indies by 126 runs.

Glenn McGrath

Glenn McGrath is one of the most renowned fast bowlers of all time. He was equally successful in both structures, particularly for a fast bowler, which is very rare for a bowler, and to have the longevity that he did was unimaginable. That is an exceptional skill to have. He did an outstanding job in a match against Namibia, where he took seven wickets and became the third one in the list of players to throw the best inning.

Rashid Khan

Rashid Khan claims to be the teenager to shine as the best cricketer of his time. In June 2017, he took the best bowling figures for an associate nation in a One Day International (ODI) match. In February 2018, he became the youngest player to climb up the ranks of ICC in ODI matches. In 2017, When he was 18, he almost supervised Afghanistan to victory after 63 runs won Afghanistan, and the wickets taken by Rashid alone was 7-18.

Andy Bichel

Bichel has a lively personality and is always devoted to giving his best in a game. It was only during the 2003 World Cup that he finally saw some glory by taking seven wickets against England. Chennai Super Kings, the IPL Champions of the 2010 season, acquired Andy Bichel’s assistance as a bowling coach for the team’s youths for IPL 2011 season. He was later the coach of Papua New Guinea.

The players have an optimistic approach toward their game Chaminda Vaas, Andy Bichel, Rashid Khan, Glenn McGrath, and Shahid Afridi are a few of many players who make history through their determination in bowling history.
