Top 10: Fastest bowlers to 400 test wickets

#3 Dale Steyn - 80 matches

Dale Steyn

Raw pace, swinging deliveries and fire in his eyes; three traits that made Dale Steyn one of South Africa's and the world's best fast bowlers at his peak. Not only did he deliver the ball at searing pace, Steyn's fast run-up and smooth action made sure he instigated fear in the batsmen. What's more, his chainsaw celebration right after he picked every wicket made him a very lovable cricketer.

After a string of consistent performances, Steyn came up with his best performance in 2008, when he became the fastest South African bowler to 100 test wickets and in the same year earned the ICC Player of the Year award. Following that performance, Steyn enjoyed success in foreign tours and a good IPL but a slew of injuries after 2013 meant he was sidelined very often and he lost his spot in the squad.

From 85 tests, the speedster has 417 wickets at a reasonable average of 22.30.
