Top 10 Bowlers with wickets taken from LBW in International Cricket
This list recognizes the top ten bowlers in all international cricket formats who have taken the most wickets via the Leg Before Wicket (LBW) dismissal. The LBW is a specialized dismissal that tests the batsman's footwork and defense and requires the bowler to have extraordinary line, length, and trajectory control. A bowler who consistently targets the stumps and takes advantage of the low bounce or deviation required to beat the pad—often depending on the umpire's astute judgment—and occasionally the Decision Review System (DRS) to verify the perfect delivery—is said to have a high number of LBW dismissals.
