WCL 2025: Top 3 bowlers with most wickets
The legends of the game laced up their boots once again and took cricket enthusiasts on a nostalgia trip in the second edition of the World Championship of Legends (WCL).
1. Piyush Chawla (India Champions), Imran Tahir and Hardus Viljoen (South Africa Champions)
India had been struggling in the bowling department this season, but Piyush Chawla's performances were the only silver lining for the Yuvraj Singh-led side. The leg-spinner bagged eight wickets in four matches at an average of 13.75 and a strike rate of 12. He bamboozled batters with his guile and deception. Chawla's economy rate was a commendable 6.88.
Imran Tahir did not have the greatest of campaigns but he chipped in with some important wickets in almost every game. The 46-year-old picked up eight wickets from five matches, averaging 19 and striking at 14. However, his economy rate was just a shade under eight. He gave away 84 runs in eight overs in the semi-finals and finals combined and picked up a solitary wicket.
Hardus Viljoen, the seam-bowling all-rounder from South Africa, bowled with a lot of heart. There was no shortage of effort every time he came on to bowl. He picked up eight wickets in seven games at an average of 25.50 and a strike rate of 18.75. However, his economy rate was slightly high, going at 8.12 runs an over.
