The best indicator of a player’s potential in the 50-over game is still their strike rate with the white ball. Who of the international bowlers has eliminated opponents the quickest? Who has handled the one-day game’s time constraints the best?
Best Career Bowling Strike Rate
| Bowling strike rate | Player | Team | Balls | Wickets |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 23.2 | Sandeep Lamichhane ‡ | Nepal | 1,602 | 69 |
| 23.4 | Ryan Harris | Australia | 1,031 | 44 |
| 24.3 | Bilal Khan ‡ | United Arab Emirates | 1,852 | 76 |
| 24.7 | Corey Anderson | New Zealand | 1,485 | 60 |
| 25.5 | Karan KC ‡ | Nepal | 1,072 | 42 |
Sandeep Lamichhanne
In the era of the wrist spinner, Sandeep Lamichhanne from Nepal is another practitioner who has contributed to bringing the craft back to life after Shane Warne’s retirement. The catchy moniker spread throughout the IPL 2018 auctions as he created history by being the first cricketer from Nepal to compete in the most profitable league in the world.
He was signed by the Delhi Daredevils team for INR 2 million for the league’s 11th season after a dizzying auction for the kid. In order to evaluate his strengths, Sandeep was asked to participate in a trial match against the big boys after being identified by talent scouts at the annual Hong Kong T20 Sixes in 2017.
Ryan Harri
Ryan Harris, who was born on October 11th, 1979, has had a seriously injury-plagued career. Harris is a bowling all-rounder with a stocky build who, when necessary, can deliver a few ferocious strikes. When South Australia Redbacks faced the Queensland Bulls and required five runs off the final ball, one such hit was a six.
After making his ODI debut against South Africa in January 2009, Harris had to wait a full year before playing again. He received a late call-up for the ODI series against Pakistan in January 2010, but he made an impression right away by grabbing two consecutive 5-wicket hauls. Since then, he has been a model of consistency, taking 41 wickets at an incredible average of 16.12 in just 17 ODI games.

Corey Anderson
A hard-hitting left-hander who can also bowl at a medium tempo, Corey Anderson signed his first professional contract at the age of 16. People had high expectations for the all-arounder from an early age. Two years apart, in 2008 and 2010, he participated in both Under-19 World Cups. He first played in First-Class in 2007, but he had to wait till 2012 to reach his first hundred. A 167 score against Otago was significant as well. He was given accolades for that performance and was included in the T20I squad to play South Africa. It took Anderson a year to make his Test debut against Bangladesh in Chittagong after a dismal start to his international career.
