Top 5 Indian bowlers with most wickets in WTC 2025-27

Mohammed Siraj leads the list with the most wickets.

India’s campaign in the ICC World Test Championship 2025-27 has been a roller-coaster ride. However, their magnificent batting has also been complemented by their bowling attack’s performance.

Despite an inconsistent start in the ongoing WTC cycle, India are still in the race to qualify for the final. Indian bowlers have always played a major role in the country’s success in Test cricket.

Playing in overseas conditions, pacers have stood up every time India needed them to, while spinners have stepped in when they have played at home and on subcontinent tracks. On that note, let’s take a look at the top five Indian bowlers who took the most wickets in the ongoing WTC 2025-27.

Indian bowlers with most wickets in WTC 2025-27:

Prasidh Krishna – 17 wickets in 4 matches 

Prasidh Krishna is a new addition to India’s Test dynamics, and despite not being the very best in the business with his frequent high-economy and loose spells, Krishna sits on our list with 17 wickets.

The lanky fast bowler has used the bounce to his advantage under English conditions and was the silent hero alongside Siraj in India’s famous victory at the Oval in 2025. 

Kuldeep Yadav – 21 wickets in 5 matches 

Kuldeep Yadav is not often associated with Test cricket in India, yet he has always been a genuine wicket-taker across all formats of the game.

Playing just five games in this WTC cycle, Kuldeep has once again been a bright star for India despite limited opportunities. He took 21 wickets, most of which came against the West Indies and South Africa during India’s home season.

Ravindra Jadeja – 29 wickets in 10 matches 

Ravindra Jadeja‘s value to the modern Indian Test team is beyond a specific role. Jadeja is often referred to as one of the greatest all-rounders in Test history, and rightly so, as he features in India’s list of top five run-getters and wicket-takers in this cycle of the WTC.

With 29 wickets, Jadeja is now on par with the world No. 1, Jasprit Bumrah, on the wickets tally in this WTC cycle. 

Jasprit Bumrah – 29 wickets in 7 matches 

Despite issues related to workload management and recurring injuries, Jasprit Bumrah ranks second on this list. He took 29 wickets and remains one of India’s most effective weapons for Test cricket in overseas conditions.

With multiple five-wicket hauls, Bumrah also played a key role for India during the England campaign at the start of this WTC cycle. 

Mohammed Siraj – 41 wickets in 10 matches 

Mohammed Siraj has emerged as India’s pace spearhead in the current WTC cycle. He played a crucial role when Jasprit Bumrah’s workload was being managed to avoid the risk of injury.

Siraj has 41 wickets and is India’s leading wicket-taker and the third overall in WTC 2025-27. He was a key component of India’s attack during the England tour, where he demonstrated his capacity to bowl tireless long spells with sublime accuracy.
