Mohammed Shami became the fastest Indian ever to breach the 100 wickets milestone in ODI cricket. He achieved the feat when he dismissed New Zealand opener Martin Guptill in the first ODI od the New Zealand vs India series. As the right-arm fast bowler trends on the internet for this humongous achievement, we take a look at the top five quickest Indian bowlers to reach 100 ODI wickets.
Mohammad Shami: Mohammad Shami reached 100 ODI wickets in 56 matches. He achieved the milestone in the first ODI of the NZ-IND five-match ODI series, Shami ended the match with 3 for 19, surpassing previous fastest Indian Irfan Pathan, who took 100 wickets in 59 ODIs.
Irfan Pathan: Irfan Pathan broke into the scene with so much promise and potential, the left-handed bowler had pace and a banana swing which rattled batsman around the world. Unfortunately, due to bad coaching and bad handling of the player, he slowly faded away from the Indian team. Irfan Pathan usurped 100 ODI wickets in his 59th ODI when he took 3-35 against Pakistan in an ODI at Abu Dhabi. India won that match by 51 runs.
Zaheer Khan: The left-arm fast bowler was the spearhead of the Indian bowling attack for the last 2 decades. He was also a catalyst of India's 2011 World Cup win. These days, Zaheer Khan is seen spending quality time with his actress wife Sagarika Ghatge. Zaheer Khan reached 100 wickets in his 65 ODI when he bagged 4 for 42 against New Zealand in a 2003 World Cup match. India won the match by 7 wickets.
