Cricketers who achieved the feat of 3000 runs and 400 wickets in Test Cricket
Playing Test Cricket is a dream for any Cricketer, and if that Cricketer is able to achieve a rare feat, then it is certainly very special. One of those rare achievements is 3000 Test runs and 400 Test wickets, and even Stuart Broad has also achieved it. To achieve this feat, a player needs to be good not only with the bowl but even with the bat. That means a cricketer needs to have the all-rounder skills to reach this particular milestone.

Top five players who reached the magical milestone of 3000 Test runs, and 400 Test wickets
The list includes the names of one of the greatest cricketers of all time. You can see the details ahead.
Stuart Broad
The star who has recently announced his retirement from International Cricket is one of those few to achieve this milestone. He has taken 600 Test wickets, and scored over 3600 runs, in 165 Test matches he has played. This is certainly a big achievement.
Richard Hadlee
Richard Hadlee is one of the greatest New Zealanders to have played this game. He played 86 Test matches, and in that, he took 431 wickets, at a brilliant average of 22.29.
As a batter, he scored 3124 runs and even got two Test centuries.
Shaun Pollock
The South African legend scored 3,781 runs, with a batting average of 32.31. This is certainly a great average for a player to bat down the order. At the same time, he even contributed 421 Test wickets.
Shane Warne
Warny was not only the greatest Leg spinner, but also a good batter. In his Test career of 145 matches, he took 708 wickets. At the same time, he even got 3154 runs. Unfortunately, he was never able to get his maiden test hundred. His highest score was 99 against New Zealand.
Kapil Dev
Kapil Dev certainly deserves to be on this list. Till now he is considered as one of the greatest all-rounders ever. He scored over 5,000 Test runs and took over 400 Test wickets. That makes him top this list.
In this list, you might see the name of Ravichandran Ashwin soon. That is because he has already taken 486 wickets, and also 3,129 runs. It’ll be interesting to see if he reaches 4000 Test runs or not.
