Proteas fast-bowler Dale Steyn is now just 37 points behind the world lead spinner, Muttiah Muralitharan from Sri Lanka.
This comes after gaining 38 crucial rating points in the first Test against Bangladesh which ended on Monday.
Steyn took seven wickets in the recently completed test after taking 13 tests to take his tally up to 50 wickets.
“The castle test squad member remains the highest rated fast bowler on the LG ICC world rankings with 870 points and soon closing in on the 900 mark,” says Cricket South Africa spokesperson, Michael Owen-Smith.
Owen-Smith added that Steyn will need just two wickets to reach 100 test dismissals in his 20th test match on Friday’s second test against Bangladesh.
