Mastering the Art of LBW: Top Bowlers Across All Formats

Whether it's Twenty20, One Day Internationals (ODIs), or Test matches, bowlers are vital to the sport of cricket. Bowlers make an impression when they dismiss batsmen, and an LBW (Leg Before Wicket) decision is among the most pleasing ways to do it. When the ball hits the batsman's pad and misses the stumps, but the umpire thinks it would have hit the stumps otherwise, it's called leg before wicket (LBW).

The bowlers with the most leg-before-wicket dismissals throughout all forms of the game are as follows:

James Anderson (England):

Anderson is renowned for his quick bowling and his ability to dismiss batsmen leg before wicket. He is among the most successful fast bowlers in cricket history. Anderson has been a problem for batters in every game format due to his two-handed swing and pinpoint accuracy.

Stuart Broad (England):

Another bowler who has done an excellent job of getting batters out LBW is Broad, who has been Anderson's long-term companion. Batsmen face an ever-present danger from Broad, who has excelled in Test cricket thanks to his height and bounce.

Rangana Herath (Sri Lanka):

Herath was a top spin bowler of his time; he could fool batsmen with his mind and little changes in spin and flight. On twisting tracks, where batsmen frequently fell prey to his leg-before-witch traps, he was most lethal.

Dale Steyn (South Africa):

Steyn was the best fast bowler in the world when he was at the top of his game. His deadly swing and blistering pace made him a household name. He bowled fast, accurate yorkers and was a continual danger to batsmen's stumps in all forms of the game.

Nathan Lyon (Australia):

One of the most successful off-spinners in Test cricket history, Nathan Lyon (Australia) can take wickets in any weather. Lyon is a threat to batsmen's stumps regardless of surface because of his ability to extract bounce and turn, even if he doesn't have the speed of some of the other bowlers on this list.

Ravichandran Ashwin (India):

Another off-spinner with great success in Test cricket is Ravichandran Ashwin (India). Ashwin uses a wide variety of variations. Bowling the carrom ball, which frequently traps batters in front of the stumps and results in LBW dismissals, is something he excels at.

Kagiso Rabada (South Africa):

Rabada has become one of the world's top fast bowlers after making a meteoric rise to prominence as a youthful bowler with raw aggressiveness and pace. Rabada has racked up a slew of leg-before wickets because of his quick bowling and regular hitting of the target areas.

Some of the best bowlers in the world in terms of most leg-before-wicket dismissals across all forms of the game include the following. While these bowlers may differ in style and technique, they can all challenge batters and take wickets when their team needs them.
