Saeed Ajmal - ODI bowling index 13.37
Not only did Ajmal take more ODI wickets in 2013 (59 against the top sides), he also did so at the fantastic average of 19.86, conceding only 4.04 runs to the over. Steyn had a better average (15.85) and economy rate (3.65), but he played only 13 ODIs compared to Ajmal's 31. Applying weightages for the wickets taken (so that Ajmal gets the maximum weightage for wickets taken and other bowlers get a fraction calculated by the wickets they've taken divided by 59), Ajmal's ODI bowling score (average multiplied by runs conceded per ball) is 13.37. Jadeja, the second-highest wicket-taker in the year, comes in next with a score of 20.89, followed by Steyn's 21.07.
