#3 Stuart Broad (England) - 388 wickets

Stuart Broad has evolved as one of the best fast bowlers in the World Cricket

When Yuvraj Singh blasted him for six sixes in an over, 10-years ago, Stuart Broad was just a 21-year old youngster. The world made fun of him; they mocked him by saying that he is on the team because of his father. However, the criticisms did not deter him.

Ten years have passed since Yuvi's carnage. Now, Broad is not just another player in world cricket but is one of the top Test bowlers. He has taken an unbelievable 388 wickets from just 109 games for England and only 15 bowlers are above him in the overall wicket-taking chart. Besides, he is just 31-years old and has a solid five years left in his armoury.

The prediction is that he will not only reach the 500+ club by 2019 but also will beat Glenn McGrath's record of 563 wickets.
