India dominated England in the first ODI and won the match by 10 wickets. Although their performance was all-round great, what jumped out the most was India’s bowling. England batters who decimated New Zealand and India in the Test suddenly looked vulnerable in front of Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammad Shami and others.
It got the fans thinking if India ranks among the top five pace attacks in ODIs. It certainly does, but who are the rest four. Let’s look at the top five pace attacks in ODIs right now.
5. South Africa
South African ODI pace attack includes Kagiso Rabada, Lungi Ngidi and Anrich Nortje. All of whom have done well in the shorter format, primarily in the Indian T20 League. The South African pace trio has 215 ODI wickets between them.
Kagiso Rabada when fit is one of the best fast bowlers in the world, but regular injury has never allowed these three to get together and become the very best in business.
