Dale Steyn finally became South Africa's leading wicket-taker in Tests, surpassing Shaun Pollock's tally of 421 Test wickets.

His achievement came against Pakistan in the ongoing Boxing Day Test being held in Centurion. His record-breaking wicket was that of Fakhar Zaman in the 7th over of the game. Pakistan were eventually bowled out for 181, with Steyn just picking up the one wicket of Zaman.

Cricketers from all around the world hailed Steyn for his achievement with the ball. The likes of AB de Villiers, Jacques Kallis, and Shaun Pollock himself heaped praise on the 35-year-old, who has been struggling with injuries of late.
