Talking about the cricketer, he was the all-time highest-wicket taker in ODIs from 2003 to 2009. During the ODI World Cup 20 years back, he became the first bowler to pick 500 ODI wickets. The former Lancashire player finished his international career with 503 ODI wickets after Pakistan’s surprisingly first-round exit in the tournament.

Six years later Muttiah Muralitharan broke his record as he took the wicket of Gautam Gambhir in an ODI in early 2009. The Sri Lankan legend, Muralitharan, finished his career at 515 wickets after playing his last ODI in the final of the 2011 ODI World Cup.
