Top 10 Youngest bowlers to take five wickets in an ODI match

Generally age is considered to be the primal measure for being an expert. Although the presumption is truly justifiable in many cases but there are a few exceptions as well. In cricket although the same formula applies. But when it comes to taking wickets often youngest bowlers deem more effective than the veteran ones. No offence experienced bowlers always play their role at most crucial times of the games but the players in their initial matches impress more. The reasons for such brilliant performances from the youngest bowlers is the unfamiliarity of batsmen from the line and length of these bowlers. A fresh coming bowler usually bowls at a pace as well as the line and length that is unknown to the batsmen. Also at early stages of age they do possess much more energy.

Mustafizur Rehman, Muhammad Amir, Jaspreet Bumrah are currently the most talented young pacers in the world. The reason for their success at International level is their lethal pace combined with accurate line and length. Muhammad Amir who made a return after a five year ban has somehow lost his touch as he lacked the game for five elongated years. The flow he was in at his initial days is somehow seems to have lost as the energetic five years of his career have just passed. But still he still is trying to be at his best after so many hurdles.

As for the youngest bowlers to take a five wicket haul are concerned, the feat also comes in Pakistan’s part. The former legendary fastest bowlers in the world Waqar Younis and Wasim Akram hold the first and second place in youngest bowlers to take five wickets in an ODI list. Waqar Younis achieved the feat at an age of 18 years and 164 days while Wasim did the same at 18 years and 266 days.
