7 great bowlers who never topped the ICC Test rankings chart

#6 Rangana Herath (Sri Lanka)

Herath had only 78 wickets to his name when he turned 33 and he has 411 wickets now

BEST RATING: 867 (November 10, 2016)

BEST RANKING: 2 (November 29, 2012)

Opinions may vary on Rangana Herath, but there is no doubt that he is one of the greatest bowlers the game has ever seen. Herath has 411 wickets to his name and has single-handedly kept Sri Lanka afloat in Test cricket over the past couple of years.

Herath struggled to break into the team because of Murali, and when it came to the rankings table, it was Dale Steyn who blocked his way.

Herath reached his career best rating of 867 points in November 2016, and while he passed Steyn, he could not get past Ravichandran Ashwin, who lead the ranking chart with 900 points to his name.
