WCL 2025: Most Wickets In World Championship Of Legends After IND vs PAK Call-Off: Top 10 Highest Wicket-Takers, Teamwise Top 5

Most Wickets in WCL 2025: The second edition of the World Championship of Legends (WCL) is underway, with three matches already completed at Edgbaston in Birmingham.

The tournament kicked off with a thrilling contest between England and Pakistan, where the English side edged out a narrow 5-run win. Fans were also treated to a throwback moment when the match between West Indies and South Africa ended in a tie and was decided by a bowl-out - a rare sight in modern cricket - with the Proteas coming out on top.

However, not all matches have gone as planned. The clash between Australia and England was abandoned due to persistent rain, while the much-anticipated, which was the supposed to be the 4th match- India vs Pakistan game was cancelled owing to heightened diplomatic tensions stemming from cross-border issues in May.

With more exciting fixtures on the horizon, here's a look at the top wicket-takers in WCL 2025 so far, followed by each team's top five performers.
