Most Wickets in ODI World Cup
The One-Day International (ODI) format of the World Cup allows players to showcase their cricketing skills and freedom to express their abilities. Batsmen rarely try to hit boundaries from the first ball, and bowlers typically avoid bowling wide yorkers.
This is because the ODI format is a balance between risk and reward. Batsmen need to score runs quickly, but they also need to be careful not to get out early. Bowlers need to take wickets, but they also need to avoid giving away too many runs.Check here for the list of players with the most wickets in the Cricket World Cup.
