Team India in ODIs: All time greatest ODI XI

Tailenders

Anil Kumble

Kumble will always be remembered for his gritty attitude.

Known to fans as 'Jumbo,' Kumble never had the ability to turn the ball as much as Warne or Muralitharan could. Yet he is among the top wicket takers of all time.

This is just because of his determination and the will to succeed. It is difficult to forget his magical spell of 6/12 against the Windies in the 1993 Hero Cup final, which was for a long time best bowling figures by an Indian in limited overs cricket.

Wickets: 337 @ avg. 30.9; Eco.: 4.31

Zaheer Khan

Indian bowling's longest serving spearhead.

Zaheer Khan, just like Yuvraj Singh, has always been an integral part in the team's success since his debut in 2000. He has to be India's best ever limited overs pacer of all time. He had everything in his arsenal: the slower ball, in-swinging yorker, outswingers and the knuckle ball. The knuckle ball was one delivery that he had developed himself, and now many players are using it.

Wickets: 282 @ avg. 29.44; Eco.: 4.93

Javagal Srinath

Javagal Srinath was one of the fastest bowlers to have played for India.

Javagal Srinath is another Indian bowler who spent a lot of his career on the side-lines throughout his career owing to injuries and team combinations. Yet, he ended up being one of the highest wicket takers for India in ODI cricket. He formed a potent pace attack in the partnership of Nehra and Zaheer in the 2003 World Cup to take India to the finals.

Wickets: 315 @ avg. 28.05; Eco.: 4.45
