Who is India's greatest ODI bowler ever?

M Shami has 157 W (26.2 average & 28.0 SR) from 87 matches. He's the best SR and 2nd best average amongst Indian bowlers with 100+ wickets.

The only real contender is Bumrah (121 W at 24.3 average & 31.4 SR).#IndvsNZ #Cricket

Shami & Siraj stun New Zealand with ball in hand

Mohammed Shami-led pace attack produced an incisive spell on a tricky surface as India bowled out New Zealand for just 108 runs in the second ODI on January 21. Shami (3/18) and Mohammed Siraj (1/10) made life tough for the batters with their high-quality seam bowling on a helping pitch. The oddball stopping made the batsmen's job tougher.

After collapsing to 15 for five in the 11th over, New Zealand were in dire straits but all hope was not lost with the last match’s centurion Michael Bracewell (22) and the equally dangerous Glenn Phillips (36) in the middle. Bracewell made his intent clear by stepping out to whack Shami over cover.

After getting hit for consecutive fours in the 19th over, Shami bowled a sharp bouncer and Bracewell went for the pull only to edge it back to the keeper. Mitchell Santer (27), who scored a fifty in Hyderabad, joined Phillips and duo took the team past 100 with a 47-run stand for the seventh wicket. However, both were dismissed in a space of six balls to end New Zealand’s hopes of a recovery.
