Top five leading wicket-takers against India in ODIs

#1 Muttiah Muralitharan - 74

Australia v Sri Lanka - Commonwealth Bank Series

The Sri Lankan stalwart has a plethora of records to his name and this one just showcases his masterclass on the field. Muttiah Muralitharan was truly a champion in every sense.

Indians have been known to be some of the best players of spin which makes Muralitharan's record against them all the more special. The legendary off-spinner took 74 ODI wickets against them in 63 matches he played. His numbers in all forms of cricket have been astonishing and it's no secret that many big players have labelled him as the greatest of all time.

Sri Lanka and India had some tensed encounters over the years and it won't be wrong to say that Muralitharan often troubled the Indian batsmen with his skillset. An economy of 4.28 in ODIs against India suggests that he was a hard case to crack and many Indian batsmen found it tough to score against him.
