10. Bhuvneshwar Kumar
(India):
Probably the Top 10 best swing bowler in the existing Indian bowling line up, Bhuvneshwar Kumar
tasted achievements mainly due to the fact of the swing that he generated. He dismissed Nasir Jamshed in his first over on T20I debut, and did even better in ODIs, getting Mohammad Hafeez out on his maiden ball. Bhuvi first came to spotlight when he dismissed the master of the game, Sachin Tendulkar, for a duck in a Ranji Trophy match at the age of
19. He has taken 51 wickets in the 47 ODI matches and 29 wickets from the 12 Test matches he has featured in India.
9. Shane Bond (New
Zealand):
Shane
Bond was one of the Top 10 best swing bowlers that New Zealand cricket ever produced.
He had a liking for the neighbors Australia. In 2002, he got 5/25 taking his
side to a success against the Aussies. He repeated the same in the World Cup in
2003 grabbing 6/23 but this time, in a losing cause. On 14 January 2007, Bond
took a hat-trick in the last over against Australia in a ODI at the Bellerive
Oval, dismissing Cameron White, Andrew Symonds and Nathan Bracken in successive
deliveries, becoming just the second New Zealand player to take a hat-trick in
limited-overs. His figures of 6/19 against India saved his team from the defeat
in 2005 at Bulawayo in a tri-series. Due to fitness issues, this fast bowler
could only play 18 Test matches in which he dismissed 87 batsmen and 82 ODIs to
return with 147 wickets.
8.
Zaheer Khan (India):
Zaheer Khan Leaded the Indian bowling
for more than a 10 years. He had the capability to swing the ball both ways and also learned the art of reverse swing with the old ball. The 37-year-old who
recently retired from all kinds of the game is best popular for making the ex-
South African captain Graeme Smith a bunny. Zaheer dismissed Graeme Smith 13
times in 25 meetings, a stat that describes it all. He was one of the key players of the 2011 ODI World Cup winning team, leading the pace attack with 21
wickets in just 9 games. Zaheer took 311 wickets in the 92 Test matches that he
played for India.
7.
Irfan Pathan:
The
left-arm swing bowler who grabbed the attention of world cricket with his debut
series in 2003-04 at the age of 19, Irfan Pathan, troubled the right-handed batsmen
with his banana swingers. Pathan was the leading wicket-taker with 16 wickets
at an average of 31 in his maiden ODI series. He was the fastest Indian to take
100 ODI wickets (59 matches). In Test matches, he gained 100 wickets in 29 Test
matches due to his immaculate swing. Irfan Pathan holds the world record for
the double – 1000 runs and 100 wickets in the quickest time in an ODIs (1059
days). His hattrick against Pakistan at Karachi in 2006 is still new in the
memory of all his fans.
6.
Vernon Philander (South Africa):
However
the South African pace attack is always about Dale Steyn and his affect, Vernon
Philander, has been there and done his part as well. He bowls with the new ball
and can curve it like the banana. The South African pacer has grabbed 121
wickets in 29 Test matches that he has played with a best of 6/44. He has taken
9 5-wicket hauls in his short role. Philander took 5/7 vs New Zealand at
Newlands and troubled the Kiwis with his swing. The 30-year old is already on
the Lords Honors Board.
5.
Trent Boult (New Zealand):
The
tall left-arm pace bowler from New Zealand who made his Test debut in 2011 was
the joint leading wicket-taker at the Cricket World Cup 2015. He produces up
for his general lack of height with misleading pace and the capability to swing
the ball both ways. He has tasted a lot of achievements in his short
international career so far having picked up 119 Test wickets in 31 matches. He
bowls extremely well with Tim Southee in tandem, having taken 46% of all
wickets between them since 2013, specially as the retirement of Martin.

4.
Mohammad Amir (Pakistan):
The
Pakistani bowler who made his first ODI and Test arrival in 2009 in Sri Lanka,
at the age of 17, has been in the news clicking his five-year ban due to his
spot-fixing involvements. But we are not worried with what the young man had to
do, in that case, what lies in our attention is his swing bowling. He amazed
the world of cricket with his bowling at such a sensitive age. He attained to
50 Test wickets in just 14 matches. He took 19 wickets on the tour to England
in 2010 which Pakistan lost 3-1, but Amir was granted the Man of the Series
award. He stressed the likes of Kevin Pietersen, Ian Bell similar and was the
best bowler in the series.
3.
Dale Steyn (South Africa):
The
South African pace leader Dale Steyn not only bowls fast but swings it a great
contract as well. It is his swing that makes him all the way more damaging than
any other pace bowler in the modern day cricket. Steyn ruled the number one
spot in the ICC test rankings for many years around 2008 and 2014. The bowler
with 26 five-wicket hauls in Test matches, Steyn, has the record for taking
most wickets for South Africa in a calendar year on more than one event. The
out and out express fast bowler can swing the ball both ways. He has already
taken 402 Test wickets in 80 matches.
2.
Mitchell Starc (Australia):
The
Aussie leader is possibly one of the most feared fast bowlers of the present
era. What makes him more dangerous is the fact that he can swing the bowl in
both direction at will with express pace. The pacer recently bowled the fastest
delivery in Test cricket. In 2015 in an ODI match at MCG against India, he
became the first Australian to catch six wickets in a home ODI match with his
best bowling figures of 6/43. Starc was the joint highest wicket taker in the
Cricket World Cup 2015 along with New Zealand’s Trent Boult with 22 wickets at
an economy rate of 3.58.
1.
James Anderson (England):
The English bowler is possibly the best swing
bowler of the current era. He has the skill to
make the balls swing sharp
either way. Owing to his swing bowling, Anderson has taken 18
Tests and 2 ODI
five-wicket hauls, and is currently the 8th highest wicket-taker of all time in
Tests. He has taken 424 Test wickets and 269 wickets in ODIs. His best bowling
figures are
7/43 in Test matches. Anytime he has played against India, he has
always shown a great
liking to the best players of the squad. He troubled
Sachin Tendulkar when India toured
England in 2007 and Kohli was his target
when India toured the country this time.
