Mitchell Starc #MitchellStarc
Star Australian pacer Mitchell Starc entered the history books when he claimed the 300th wicket of his Test career. It came on Day 2 of the first Test vs South Africa when he cleaned up Proteas batter Rassie van der Dussen with a lovely inswinger. RSVD had no chance against the outstanding swing bowling of Starc as he was left dumbstruck at the crease, looking back at his rattled stumps. He was gone for a duck after playing four deliveries. Starc celebrated in typical Starc fashion, something he had done 299 times before. This is a big landmark in his career and he deserved it.
Watch Starc reach his mileston of 300 Test wickets with a peach of a delivery:
With 300 Test wickets in his bag, Starc has joined an elite list of Australian cricketers who had done the same. The list includes Dennis Lillee, Glenn McGrath, Mitchell Johnson, Brett Lee, Shane Warne, Nathan Lyon. Not to forget, Starc took the least number of overs to reach the landmark (2477 overs).
