Top 5 bowlers with most wickets between 2007 and 2011 World Cup

#3 Shakib al Hasan (Bangladesh) - 101 wickets

Shakib Al Hasan was the most economical among the Top 5 wicket-takers during the period.

Shakib-al-Hasan is undoubtedly the greatest player to have emerged from Bangladesh and is one of the best all-rounders in history, considering the fact that he had little support from his teammates, at least during his early years, often fighting a lone battle.

He has found himself at the top of the all-rounder charts on numerous occasions excelling with both and ball in all formats of the game.

During the period between the 2007 and 2011 World Cups, Shakib took 101 wickets from 74 ODIs at an average of 28.62.

Among the top 5 wicket-takers during the said period, Shakib is the most economical bowler conceding just 4.40-runs-an-over.

It was during this period that Shakib established himself as a true all-rounder, after being considered more of a batsman who could bowl in his early years.

Apart from the obvious pressure he had to contend with as the side's best player, Shakib also captained Bangladesh during the period.
