Champions Trophy 2017: 5 most expensive bowlers in the history of the tournament

#1 Wahab Riaz (Pakistan)

Riaz had a day to forget this past Sunday

8.4-0-87-0 against India, ICC Champions Trophy 2017

Wahab Riaz, the left-arm quickie has the speed to trouble the best in business but hasn’t added consistency into the mix. He is a typical Pakistani left-armed fast bowler who loves to run down fast and full at the batsmen.

Riaz is the latest entrant to the list. It was during the most recent and rare encounter of Pakistan against arch-rivals, India in the ongoing ICC Champions trophy 2017. India were put into bat first by Pakistan and the strong and deep Indian batting line-up dominated the opposition from the very beginning.

Wahab was brought into the attack by his skipper to attain some respite, but he was taken to the cleaners by the Indian batsmen as they carved 87 runs from just 8.4 overs at an economy of 10.03.

Riaz left the field due an injury and could not complete his spell. India posted a massive total of 289 from 41 overs (D/L method) for Pakistan. But the Men in Green succumbed to India’s high-quality bowing attack and were bundled out for 164 in 33.4 overs.
