The fastest bowler to reach 100 wickets in One Day Internationals (ODIs) in terms of matches is Australia’s Mitchell Starc. He achieved the milestone in just 52 matches, becoming one of the quickest to reach this landmark in ODI cricket history. Known for his express pace, swing, and deadly yorkers, Starc has consistently been a strike bowler for Australia in limited-overs cricket. Other great fast bowlers like Saeed Ajmal and Brett Lee also reached 100 wickets quickly, but Starc holds the record for the fewest matches among fast bowlers, highlighting his impact in modern ODI cricket.
