*New Zealand’s right-arm pacer was the first player to capture 400 Test wickets. He claimed his 400th Test scalp when he bowled India’s Sanjay Manjrekar in the second innings of the Christchurch Test in 1990. The Sultan of Swing ended his glittering career with 431 wickets in just 86 Tests in 1990—the most by any bowler in Test cricket at that time.
*The 6ft, 1inch pacer claimed five or more wickets in an innings 36 times in Tests—a then record. He also won the Player-of-the-series awards eight times—a joint highest with former Pakistan pacer Imran Khan—at the time of his retirement.
