England speedster Stuart Broad, who was just a wicket away from reaching the 500 Test wickets milestone, finally reach the landmark on the last day of the third and the final test match against West Indies on Tuesday.
He reached at the landmark after clinching the wicket of Caribbean batsman Kraig Braithwaite and became the 7th bowler to join the elite list of bowlers who have taken more than 500 wickets in Test cricket.

According to former skipper Michael Atherton, the right-arm pacer has the potential to take 600 wickets in Test Cricket.
He was equally complemented by other legendary England pacer James Anderson who is already the part of an elite list as currently, he has taken 587 test wickets.
“He’s been a real inspiration with the way he was worked over the last years,” Anderson told Sky Sports on Tuesday.
“I’m always amazed at how he gets going in a spell and just blows teams away. He’s in great shape and he can go on and get as many wickets as he wants.”
Nobody believed that he will make a comeback as the most successful bowler in Test cricket especially after being hit for six sixes in an over by Yuvraj Singh in World T20 in 2007. He proved everyone wrong with his amazing dedication and valour in International cricket.
