5 legendary bowlers with just one 5-wicket haul in ODI cricket

#3 Kapil Dev

Kapil Dev took 253 wickets in total

Kapil Dev’s ODI legacy lies largely in his biggest achievement: the 1983 Cricket World Cup. However, he was also a very handy bowler, taking 253 wickets at just 27.02 runs per wicket.

His career, which spanned 225 matches and 16 years, contained just one five-wicket haul. In 1983, he picked up five Australian wickets, those of Rod Marsh, Ken MacLeay, Kepler Wessels, Tom Hogan and Geoff Lawson in a losing effort at Trent Bridge.

He did however, finish his career with the remarkable economy rate of 3.71. Dev nearly missed out on adding to his only five-wicket haul three times, with three four-wicket hauls over his career.
