Australia pacer Mitchell Starc is the most successful pacer in Test history, albeit, when it comes to the left-handers. On Thursday, during the first day of the 2nd Ashes Test, the 35-year-old became the most prolific, one-in-a-kind pacer, when he surpassed Wasim Akram’s tally of 412 Test wickets, after getting the wicket of England’s Harry Brook.

Meanwhile, Starc achieved the record in his 102nd Test, while Wasim Akram reached the feat in 104 Tests. That also means, that in the all-time list of highest wicket-takers in Tests, the Aussie is in 16th place now, and will soon surpass the likes of Harbhajan Singh and Shaun Pollock.

His recent form has been exceptional as well, where he went on to bag 10 wickets in the first Ashes Test a week back. In the second, he went on to dismiss Ben Duckett, Ollie Pope, and Harry Brook. He was the reason, that visitors England were reduced to 5/2 in the first three overs. From there on, Zak Crawley and Joe Root did score 70 each, but Starc looked unplayable on the day.
That also shows, how consistent the pacer has been, notwithstanding the opposition as well. In his career so far, he has picked over 110 wickets against England, 66 vs India, 37 vs New Zealand, 54 vs Pakistan, 47 vs South Africa, 57 vs Sri Lanka and 44 vs West Indies.
