#1 Anil Kumble
If stats are to be believed, Anil Kumble has won India the most number of matches ever in history.
But, let us just put the stats aside and decipher the man; there has been no person who has tried harder, no person who displayed astonishing levels of commitment, no person deserves the accolades more than Kumble.
He was not your conventional leg-spinner, he darted the ball in and got it to break just a smidgen, but his greatest ally was his impeccable consistency, the unwavering lengths, and the remarkable dependability.
In the 401 matches Kumble played for India, he picked up 953 wickets at a strike rate of 57.09.
Also, along the way, he notched up 37 five-wicket hauls and eight 10 wicket-haul.
The most successful Indian bowler and Anil Kumble deserves this spot by all means!
