#5 Javagal Srinath

Arguably India's greatest fast bowler

Javagal Srinath was probably India's fastest bowler in the 1990s. He was the leader of the Indian pace attack and was the lone warrior for them in red-ball cricket after the retirement of Kapil Dev. He was also the fastest Indian to reach 100 ODI wickets and the first one from the country to breach the 300 wickets mark in the limited overs format.

But the one thing that has eluded the now-Match Referee is a World Cup glory. Srinath has represented India in as many as 4 World cups and is the joint leading wicket-taker along with Zaheer with 44 scalps for them as far as the mega tournament is concerned, but failed to win a single one.

He has found success in the longer format too with 236 wickets from 67 Test matches where he has represented India.
