3. Muttiah Muralitharan 159 ducks

Here is another legendary spinner making it to the elite list. Call him the spin-king. For those who don't know, he is the best bowler the International Cricket has ever seen, at least in terms of wickets. In short, batsman never found a way to play him. Even though he is a human, the spin he produced was alien. If the word unplayable defined anyone best, it would be Muttiah Muralitharan.
He has 1347 International wickets to his name across formats. The number right there is unlikely to be outscored anytime.
In an illustrious career spanning over 18 years, he spun batsmen 159 times to duck.
