T20 cricket is celebrated as the batsman’s format due to the flat wickets used in the game. But still, in the era of high-scoring matches, the bowlers make the difference with their skillful bowling. Thriving in the shortest format of the game demands variations from bowlers and the top Caribbean bowlers implement the same to bring glory to their team. Since 2006, they have been playing this format, let us put you through the bowlers with the most T20 wickets for West Indies.Â

Dwayne BravoÂ
Probably the greatest fast bowler the format has ever seen, Dwayne Bravo took the most T20 wickets for West Indies. Bravo made his debut in the most entertaining format in 2006 against New Zealand and returned with 2/16. In his extended career of 16 years (206-2021), he donned the WI jersey 91 times and bagged 78 wickets, including the best of 4/19. Moreover, Bravo played a huge role in West Indies’ 2016 T20 World Cup triumph, getting 9 wickets in 6 games.
Jason HolderÂ
One of the important cogs in the current team with three-dimensional ability, Jason Holder finds himself in 2nd position on the tally of the most T20 wickets for West Indies. Representing the Men in Maroon 63 times, the lanky fast bowler has snared 66 wickets at a stunning strike rate of 20.19. Holder mostly rely on the new ball to get the better of the batters with unplayable outswingers and sometimes bowls decent flowers too.
Samuel Badree
Former leg spinner from Trinidad, Samuel Badree gets 3rd place on the elite West Indies bowler list for taking the most T20 wickets which is 54 scalps in 50 games. The tall leggie had a destructive googly along with a decent leg-spin, aiding him to strike at an impressive rate of 20.44. He registered his supreme bowling figure of 4/15 against Bangladesh in the 2014 T20 World Cup.Â
Sunil NarineÂ
The most hostile mystery bowler ever, Sunil Narine occupies the 5th spot on the list. Narine boasted impeccable off-spin, carrom ball, doosra, etc to deceive the batsmen and his pace variations troubled almost everyone at the highest level. From 2012 to 2019, he claimed 52 wickets in 51 games at a mere economy of 6.01. His tight line and length always choked the opponents and took the match away from them.Â
