3. Shahid Afridi - 66 wickets
Shahid Afridi was not the authentic leg-break bowler who could create magic from the surface like Shane Warne, but his deceptive variations made him a difficult bowler to get away with. He featured in 98 T20 internationals for Pakistan between 2006 and 2016.
His all-round performance earned him the Player of the series award in the inaugural edition of the T20 World Cup in 2007, when he finished with 12 wickets in the tournament.
Pakistan won 56 of the 98 games he was part of. During that period, he bowled 210.2 overs, conceding 1314 runs and picked up 66 wickets at an average of 19.90 including 3 four-wicket hauls.
Shahid Afridi was also instrumental in Pakistan's World T20 victory in 2009, earning the Man of the Match in the semi-final as well as the final.
