India vs South Africa | Top 5 bowlers who can take most wickets in this series

#4 Vernon Philander

Philander will be one of the senior blokes after the retirement of Morkel and Steyn

The only other bowler in the top 10 of the current crop of bowlers associated with the Freedom trophy, Vernon Philander has been nothing less than a revelation in his 58-odd Test career, claiming 214 wickets at an average just below 22. Who would forget his 9-wicket haul against India in Cape Town when the top Indian batsmen went for hiding against the swing of Philander, who went on to take 6 wickets and claim the man of the match. Considered by many as unfit-fit in the South African team, Philander has silenced his critics with the ball as well as the bat and forming a lethal opening combo with Rabada.
