The others in the list are Wasim Akram, who took 55 wickets and then it is Muttiah Muralitharan, dismissing 53 batsmen. These 3 are the only bowlers who took more than 50 wickets in all world cup matches. Also, these are the top 3 bowlers in terms of number of wickets they took in world cup tournament.
