Dale Steyn yesterday has become the second South African bowler after Shaun Pollock to achieve the record of 400 wickets. Former South African speed star Alan Donald regards Steyn as the all-time great; and said being at wrongside of 30s Steyn still has potential to enter the 500 wicket club.
Yesterday, morning in Sher-e- Bangla stadium, Mirpur South Africa captain Hasim Amla caught Tamim Iqbal at slip off Dale Steyn, eventually Tamim became the victim of Steyn’s 400th wicket.
Alongwith this achievement Steyn has become the 9th fast bowler and 13 overall to achieve the record of 400 wickets in Test cricket. Steyn took fewest balls to claim the four hundred wicket. Along with this record Steyn now with Richard Hadlee of New Zealand become the joint second fastest fastest bowlers to reach the 400 wicket in 80 Tests. The elite list is topped by legendry Sri Lanka off spinner Muttiah Muralitharan.
Now, after Steyn’s achievement his teammates went to down memory lane to recall the memorabilia Steyn scripted in the international cricket with the red ball. Cricket South Africa compiled a video with the nostalgic memory of AB de Villiers, Hashim Amla, JP Duminy among others about Dale Steyn.
