Stuart Broad made history for England by reaching 500-wickets in Tests

Congratulations to Broad for taking 500 wickets

Steward Broad holds the record for taking 500 wickets in a Test by making West Indies batsman Craig Brathwaite lbw. The cricket world is in awe of the English pacer's performance in the Manchester Test.

Legendary Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar and many others have congratulated the English fast bowler on social media. Former Caribbean fast bowler Courtney Walsh, who set a precedent of 500 wickets before Broad, said Broad's next target was 600 wickets.

Broad's debut Test in Colombo in 2006 saw him wear a Test cap by then-England captain Michael Vaughan. This time he sat in the commentary room and saw the moment when Broad got 500 wickets. Vaughan posted the picture of the gift of the test cap on his debut on Instagram and wrote, "I always thought that he would have a good test career." But getting 500 wickets was not in my equation at all! Skill, perseverance, hard work and mentality without hull but he started as a batsman. Good example for all young cricketers Congratulations Stuart Broad.

Former Bangladesh bowling coach Courtney Walsh said in the context of Steward Broad, congratulations to Broad for touching 500 wickets. Hard work pays off. I still remember you bowling my son in Bristol when you were both kids.

Get 500 wickets and run towards Broad 600, wants Warne. From Sachin Tendulkar to Shane Warne, everyone is tweeting about the fame of the English fast bowler. Congratulations through social media.

Broad reached the 500-wicket milestone in the last Test against the West Indies yesterday. Broad made this feat by lbw Craig Brafet in the Manchester Test. Shane Warne also reached this milestone with six others before him in the elite version of cricket. Legendary Australian leg-spinner Broad is impressed. Fascinated, he became the second youngest bowler in Test history. Earlier, at the age of 31, Muttiah Muralitharan had achieved this feat. Broad, who was Man of the Series with a maximum of 18 wickets in just two Tests, is just 34 years old. Sri Lankan spinner Muttiah Muralitharan, however, came in and took 500 wickets. And Broad got 500 wickets in 140 matches. Broad is also the seventh fastest bowler to take 500 wickets.

Broad and James Anderson have been playing the big role of pace bowling for England while maintaining fitness year after year. Broad continues to attack the scary pace with control and swing, not speed. And that's why Warne doesn't see Broad stopping here. At the end of his career, he wants to see 600 wickets next to Broad's name. Warne tweeted to Broad, "Congratulations on winning the Test and taking 500 wickets. You did it when you were only 34 years old. There is a lot of time in front of you. You have a good chance to get more than 600 wickets. '
