#3 Glenn McGrath, Australia - 2007

One of the great fast bowlers in cricketing history, Glenn McGrath, was known for his accurate line and length throughout his career. McGrath was one of the many reasons why Australia dominated World Cricket during the time in which he played cricket.
Having scalped the most number of wickets by a fast bowler in Test Cricket, McGrath could bowl in the right channel for hours without getting distracted or making an error.
McGrath is also the most successful bowler in World Cup history, with him taking 71 wickets in four World Cups at an average of just 18.19.
The right arm pacer’s tally of 26 wickets in World Cup 2007 remains the highest number of wickets taken in a single World Cup till date.
MCGrath deservedly got the Player of the Tournament recognition for his outstanding performance which helped his team win the Title yet again.
