It”s cool and humbling: Starc as he nears Kapil”s tally of all-time Test wickets

MELBOURNE: (Aug 6) Australian pacer Mitchell Starc is just one wicket shy of equalling Indian great Kapil Dev in the list of all-time highest wicket-takers in Test cricket and says it would be humbling to be placed in that star-studded top-10.

Starc has 433 wickets in 105 Tests, one less than Kapil. The two-Test series against Bangladesh beginning August 13 will give him an opportunity to surpass Kapil and South African pace great Dale Steyn, who has 439 Test wickets.

“It means I’ve played a bit,” Starc told the Australian Associated Press when asked about the milestone.
