Rudra Pratap Singh may have been the most successful bowler in the match, but he holds the dubious record of conceding the most number of wides in an innings by an Indian bowler in ODIs (since 1990). He might not be so disappointed, though, when he takes a look at the player he jointly holds the record with: Kapil Dev bowled ten wides too, as shown below:
