#1 Ajit Agarkar
Agarkar made his ODI debut for Team India in April 1998 against Australia and went on to represent the nation till 2007. The Mumbai cricketer was equally good with the bat for Men in Blue scoring 1269 runs. With 288 wickets to his name, Agarkar is India's third highest wicket-taker in ODIs. The right-arm fast medium bowler was a part of India's 1999, 2003 and 2007 ICC Cricket World Cup squads.
Agarkar took just 23 matches to take 50 ODI wickets and was the quickest to reach those figures back in 1998 when he broke former Aussie pacer Dennis Lillee's record. Though he lost that record to Ajantha Mendis in 2009, he remains to be the fastest Indian to 50 ODI wickets till date. In 191 ODIs, Agarkar took 288 wickets with his best figures being 6/42.
