Ajit Agarkar remains an underestimated bowler who paid rich dividends whenever he was part of the team

Ajit Agarkar was one of the most potent Indian bowlers when it came to wicket taking ability. He was generally the go-to man for captains to break vital partnerships and also get the breakthrough in initial overs.

When playing in the West Indies, the Mumbai pacer brought his ace game to the front and leads this list by a handsome margin. Agarkar picked up 19 wickets in 11 matches at a stupendous average of 18.84. Not just this, his economy while picking up these wickets was a meagre 3.73.

The 39-year-old pacer did not always get due credit for his exploits with the ball. It will be surprising for many that he is the third highest wicket-taker in the history of ODIs for India with 288 scalps. Post retirement, Ajit has had commentary and coaching stints.
