Next on the list is Bishan Singh Bedi. He is a former Indian cricketer who was a slow left-arm orthodox bowler. He played the longest format for India from 1966 to 1979 and was one of the best spinners during his heydays. He played a total of 67 Tests and bagged as many as 266 wickets.

The former spinner also captained the Indian national cricket team in 22 Test matches. As far as the domestic cricket is concerned, the Delhi cricketer Bedi hogged the limelight in the 1974–75 season of the Ranji Trophy, where he took a record 64 wickets.

Bedi also spiced it up for Northamptonshire in English county cricket for several years. He ended up his career with as many as 1560 wickets in first-class cricket—more than any other Indian bowler.
