- Dale Steyn – 49 Tests:
Undoubtedly the greatest pacer of this generation, Dale Steyn has been a class apart and his numbers are just a shadow of what he has offered to world cricket with his unparalleled skills. In a generation, which has been fed on a diet of batting heroics, Steyn stands out as an example, as he got to his 250th Test wicket in just his 49th game. The feat came against Sri Lanka at Centurion on December 15, 2011 as Steyn bowled yet another fine spell. With injuries sadly being a hurdle to his career, one cannot simply say more than the fact that Steyn has been an absolute legend of the game with his fine performances.
