Least matches to 150 wickets
When Mumbai and India medium pacer Ajit Agarkar bagged the scalp of Russel Arnold in the India-Sri Lanka NatWest Tri-Series match on June 30, he reached the milestone of 150 wickets in one-day internationals. He achieved the feat in only his 97th match. Only Pakistan's Saqlain Mushtaq, South Africa's Alan Donald, Australia's Shane Warne and England's Darren Gough have reached the landmark in lesser number of matches.
