Jasprit Bumrah is the first Indian bowler who can emerge as the top wicket-taker in IND vs SA ODI series. The right-arm pacer has not played an ODI post December 2020. Hence, the ODI series against South Africa will be his comeback to the ODI squad after more than one year.

In his last ODI series against Australia in Nov-Dec 2020, the 28-year-old scalped 4 wickets in 3 games. With his pace attack and aggressive bowling, Bumrah can definitely suppress Proteas batsmen during the series.

Shardul Thakur is another Indian player who can pick most wickets during IND vs SA ODI series. Thakur has spent a lot of time on the field during the last one year. He was part of almost every Test, ODI, and T20I series that India played since the beginning of 2021.

In 3 ODIs in 2021, Thakur scalped 7 wickets in 3 games at an average of 22.57. Moreover, his 7-wicket haul in recent India vs South Africa 2nd Test justifies his dominating form at the moment. The right-arm medium pacer has the ability to crush South African batsmen in the ODI series.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar is the third Indian bowler who can emerge as the highest wicket-taker during IND vs SA ODI series. The right-arm pacer faced a lump in his form for a brief period last year. However, he regained his strength in bowling and gave some incredible performance towards the end.

Last year, he played 5 ODI games in which he grabbed 9 wickets at an average of 28.0. In the absence of pacer Mohammed Shami in the squad, Kumar will aim to execute his best-ever show for the team.
