Earning the top spot on the list of highest wicket-taker in 2019 with 42 wickets at an economy rate of 5.36 is India's spearhead, Mohammed Shami. Shami has been part of the Indian squad for quite a few years but only recently has he proved his worth as one of the most sound fast bowlers in this format. His strong action and pace allow him to get wickets at regular intervals and his improved armoury of different bowling options have helped him have a successful year.
He has the ability to move both the new and the old ball while his pace and accuracy makes him a destructive bowler. Shami is expected to continue his stellar performance for India in the coming decade across formats.
