10 fastest bowlers to reach 300 Test wickets

7. Shane Warne (AUS) -- 63 Tests

Shane Keith Warne is considered to be one of the greatest bowlers of all time, and the one who brought the craft of leg spin bowling back into the limelight.

He represented Australia from 1993 to 2007, and was also instrumental in leading the Rajasthan Royals to the crown of champions in the first ever edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) in 2008. In 2000, Warne was also named by Wisden as one of the five greatest cricketers of the century.

Warne picked up his 300th wicket in his 63rd Test against South Africa at Sydney in 1998, when he clean bowled Jacques Kallis for 45 runs.

Warne eventually became the first bowler to reach the landmark of 700 Test wickets before retiring in 2007, with a tally of 708 wickets in his kitty.
