    In cricket, a maiden over holds special significance. When a bowler delivers six consecutive dot balls in an over without conceding a run, it is termed a maiden over. Achieving this consistently requires precision, skill, and a strategic mindset. Let’s explore the top five bowlers who have bowled the most maiden overs in international cricket, with one Indian legend making the list.

    1. Muttiah Muralitharan (Sri Lanka)

    Sri Lankan off-spinner Muttiah Muralitharan stands at the top of this elite list. Known for his extraordinary ability to spin the ball sharply, Muralitharan terrorized batsmen across the globe. Over his illustrious career, spanning 495 international matches, he bowled an incredible 1,992 maiden overs. His mastery of off-spin and relentless accuracy made him one of the most difficult bowlers to score against.

    2. Shane Warne (Australia)

    Next on the list is Australian leg-spinner Shane Warne, widely regarded as one of the greatest bowlers in cricket history. Warne’s unique ability to spin the ball prodigiously and his clever variations kept batsmen on their toes. In his 329 international matches, Warne bowled 1,871 maiden overs. His passing in 2022 at the age of 52 left a lasting legacy in the cricketing world.

    3. Glenn McGrath (Australia)

    Glenn McGrath, the former Australian fast bowler, is celebrated for his pinpoint accuracy and disciplined line and length. McGrath consistently bowled in areas where it was challenging for batsmen to score, making him a crucial asset to the Australian bowling attack. In 376 international matches, McGrath delivered 1,749 maiden overs, showcasing his exceptional control and patience.

    4. Anil Kumble (India)

    Anil Kumble, the only Indian cricketer on this list, was a legendary leg-spinner known for his consistent performances. Kumble’s ability to maintain a tight line and length, coupled with his subtle variations, made him one of India’s most successful bowlers. Throughout his international career, spanning 403 matches, Kumble bowled 1,685 maiden overs. Post-retirement, Kumble continued to contribute to Indian cricket as the head coach of the national team.

    5. Shaun Pollock (South Africa)

    Former South African medium-pacer Shaun Pollock rounds off this prestigious list. Pollock’s strength lay in his ability to swing the ball both ways with precision, making him a formidable bowler in all conditions. Over his career, which included 423 international matches, Pollock bowled 1,536 maiden overs. His disciplined approach and consistency made him a key figure in South African cricket.
