Saeed Ajmal’s unique record in ODI cricket

Pakistan‘s cricketer Saeed Ajmal was inarguably one of the most dreadful spinners in his prime. He was the reason behind many batsmen nightmare and won many games for his side with his wily off-spin. Ajmal possessed many variations up in his sleeves and got the better of many geniuses with his deadly ‘doosra’ which came without a discernible change in action along with quicker-ones.

In his entire cricketing career, Ajmal has played 112 One-Day Internationals (ODIs) in which he chipped 184 wickets at an average of 22.72 and a staggering economy of 4.18. He had two fifers to his name and also a Man of the Series Award too. But interestingly, Ajmal has never won a single Man-of-the-Match award in his entire captivating ODI career. It may come as a surprise to many but Ajmal has never managed to evolve as the protagonist of the game. READ MORE: Laxmi Ratan Shukla steps into the new field

Ajmal’s effectiveness with the ball has taken a dip after he remodeled his action. But one can expect a comeback and Ajmal would certainly look to clinch an Man-of-the-Match award if there is an opportunity to be grabbed.
