5 most famous Steves of cricket

Steve Tikolo

Steve Tikolo is the first name that comes to mind for Kenyan cricket

The first cricketer from a non-Test playing nation to feature in 100 ODIs, former Kenyan captain Steve Tikolo is one of the most famous names amongst players from Associate nations.

A veteran of the sport as far as Kenan cricket is concerned, Tikolo played 135 ODIs and scored 3428 runs in addition to his tally of 94 wickets. His run tally is the highest and his wicket-count second best for any cricketer from the African nation of Kenya.

In an illustrious career that spanned between 1996 and 2014, the all-round cricketer epitomised the sport for his country as his stint saw Kenya scaling their peak in international cricket.

Leading his side to the semi finals of the 2003 ICC Cricket World Cup, playing a crucial hand of 29 in a low scoring encounter that upset the mighty West Indies in the 1996 World Cup and leading the player protest against his own Board's internal politics that forced a change in the administration will be the highlights of what has truly been a remarkable career for a cricketer from a country that seldom got opportunities to showcase their abilities.
