#1 Shane Warne - 510
Shane Warne was arguably the greatest leg-spinner the cricket world had ever seen. He had every quality that a legendary leg-spinner should possess- a giant leg-break, a googly, a top-spinner and a flipper. He represented the Australian side 145 times in Test cricket, in a career spanning 15 years from 1992 to 2007 and ended up on the winning side 92 times.
During that period, he bowled 26133 deliveries conceding 11461 runs, picking up 510 wickets at an average of 22.47 including 27 five wicket hauls and 7 ten wicket match hauls. He retired as the leading wicket-taker in Test cricket in 2007 scalping 708 wickets, before another spin wizard Muttiah Muralidharan overtook him.
