Australian pacer Glenn McGrath holds the record for most wickets in Cricket World Cup history. He took 71 wickets across four tournaments (1996–2007). Known for his accuracy and economy, McGrath was instrumental in Australia’s World Cup dominance during the 2000s.
His best performance came in the 2003 edition, where he took 26 wickets and helped Australia lift the trophy unbeaten. His consistency in different conditions and ability to deliver under pressure made him one of the greatest fast bowlers in the sport’s history.
