Five bowlers and their favourite wicket-taking grounds

#1 Wasim Akram – 122 wickets at Sharjah Cricket Stadium

Wasim Akram is the leading wicket taker at a single venue.

Wasim Akram is regarded as one the legends of the modern era and the finest bowler to have ever played the sport. The Sultan of Swing troubled the batsmen with his control over the line and length and his ability to swing the ball both ways. The now 50-year-old was been the most consistent performer for Pakistan Cricket and tops the list of the leading wicket taker for the side with 502 wickets.

Like his teammate Waqar Younis, Akram too enjoyed the condition on offer at Sharjah as he has been the most effective seamer at the venue. He holds the record for most number of wickets at a single venue as he scalped 122 wickets in 77 matches at the ground.

The left arm seamer registered his best figures at the ground in the year 1989 against the West Indies with a crucial five-wicket haul to help his team post a comprehensive victory. In the quota of 10 overs, Akram picked up five wickets, giving away on 38 runs to break the backbone of the Caribbean batting unit.
