4.) Anil Kumble

A fierce competitor, Anil Kumble spun a web in IPL 2009

There has no bowler in India who has contibuted more than Anil Kumble in winning test matches. He is without a doubt the greatest ever match winner as far as bowlers are concerned.

His fastish leg break was lethal on wearing surfaces and was a complete test bowler. But then there was always doubts whether he could extend his performances to the shortest version of the game.

Kumble is a hard trier and never gives up. His unnerving accuracy made him tough to hit for runs in T20, and his inspirational leadership of the Royal Challengers Bangalore got them through to the finals of the second season of the Indian Premier League in 2009 after a forgettable first season.

In 54 matches in the IPL, Kumble snapped up 57 wickets at an average of 24.36 and a superlative economy of 6.69. and has the best figures of 5 runs for 5 wickets. Beat that!
