#2 Shahid Afridi - 134 wickets

The vast majority of cricket aficionados associate Shahid Afridi with his mercurial batting. While he did remain an explosive batsman for the better part of his career, his inimitable style of leg-spin also added an extra element of variety of Pakistan's bowling attack in the limited-overs formats. The all-rounder accounted for 134 wickets from the second innings of 115 day-night ODIs.
Even though his average of 28.90 may not be as exemplary as the other names in this distinguished group of bowlers, Afridi often helped Pakistan strangle opposition lineups in the middle-overs. An economy-rate of 4.63 in those 115 matches stands as testament to his control. While two of his three five-wicket hauls came against Associate teams, the wrist-spinner's 5/35 enabled his team to defend a below-par total of 200 against a strong Sri Lankan batting lineup in Sharjah.
