Steyn gets to 400 wickets

Steyn becomes the second South African bowler to get to 400 wickets.

South African fast bowler Dale Steyn became the 13th bowler in Test cricket to get to 400 wickets on Thursday during the Proteas match against Pakistan in Dhaka.

Steyn achieved the feat on his 80th Test match when he dismissed Bangladesh opening batsman, Tamim Iqbal. Steyn took 3 wickets in the first Test match to take his tally to 399 but rain interrupted the Proteas’ second innings and was he unable to bowl.

He got to his 400th wicket in the first session of the second Test match in the third over of the day, doing so he became only the second South African to take 400 Test wickets.

The Proteas are currently on tour playing their second test match against Bangladesh in Dhaka.
