#1 Kapil Dev

Kapil Dev was one of the finest all-rounder the game has ever seen. He was one of India's main strike bowlers in the most of the games he has played.
Dev delivered graceful outswingers with a beautiful action and even developed unplayable inswinging yorkers against the tail-enders afterwards. The former Indian skipper picked up 253 ODI wickets in 225 games.
"The Haryana Hurricane" faced the Aussies in 41 ODI matches and picked up 45 wickets with a best of 5/43.
Though the Aussies had very good batsmen at that time, Kapil Dev gave away just 3.67 runs per over which is the best for a bowler who has bowled at least 250 overs in India vs Australia one day international games.
