#2 Adil Rashid, Matches- 68; Wickets- 110; Average- 29.90; E.R- 5.50
Yorkshire's controversial figure in the 2018 season and England's final answer to years of wrist-spinning voodoo, Rashid has finally come to the fore as one of the leading one day bowlers. His rise to becoming one of the premium spin bowlers was showcased by his performances in the recent series against India where he took out Kohli multiple times, once bowling him with a ripping leg-break that beat the maestro's outside edge.
Almost a decade from his debut, having seen the crests and troughs of professional cricket, Adil Rashid finally knows what his role in the side is. Earlier pushed to fill the role of an all-rounder, he now bats as low as number 10 in the line-up fulfilling the role of a standalone spin bowler. According to a Sky Sports infographic, he has lowered his speed in the air with each passing year since 2015, in perfect correlation with increasing wickets and lowering economy rate.
