Mitchell Starc closes in on Kapil Dev's 434-wicket milestone

Mitchell Starc is a famous fast bowler who plays cricket for Australia.

He bowls very fast and tries to get batters out, which is called taking a wicket.

Starc has now taken 433 wickets in Test cricket, the longest form of the game.

Many years ago, a great Indian player named Kapil Dev took 434 Test wickets.

Kapil stopped playing in 1994, and his record stood for almost 30 years.

Starc needs just two more wickets to catch up and pass Kapil.

He will play a series against Bangladesh later this month, so he has a good chance to do it soon.

Starc says he does not think much about records while he is still playing.

He just wants to keep learning and improving as a bowler.

That is how he has stayed great for 16 years.
