#3 Javagal Srinath
There is a reason why Javagal Srinath is still the best ODI Fast Bowler ever produced by India.
The man had the pace, the man had the variations and was a master of impeccable line and length, and was the architect of several memorable wins for the Indian Cricket Team.
Between 1994 and 2003, he was India's lead pacer and he proved this by performing every time he stepped on the ground.
With England as the oppositions team, against whom he represented the Indian cricket team in 21 matches, Srinath scalped 35 wickets of the opposition at a magical average of just 23.69 and economy of only 4.39.
Even though he has the same number of wickets as Ashwin, the fact that he took them in less number of matches, at a lower average, lower economy and a 5-wicket haul means he ranks higher than him in this list.
