2022 Stats: Most Wickets across All Formats (ODI+Test+T20I)

Scoring runs can give a team the much-needed advantage but picking up wickets win matches.

You cannot win a Test match without dismissing every batter in the opponent’s line-up twice. Even in the shorter formats, the bowlers always provide much-needed dominance in the game.

This article will list the top ten wicket-takers in 2022 in all formats of international cricket together.

Note: We decided to take out the Average, Strike Rate, and Economy Rate columns in the table, as they don’t make sense when it comes to the combination stats of all formats.
