Kapil Dev is most famous for being the captain of the Indian cricket team that won the 1983 Cricket World Cup. He is one of the few players in cricket history to have taken more than 400 wickets and more than 5000 runs in Test cricket.
The first four bowlers to take more than 500 wickets in Test Cricket were, chronologically, Courtney Walsh (17 March 2001), Shane Warne (8th March 2004), Muttiah Muralitharan (16 March 2004), and Glenn McGrath (July 21 2005). Anil Kumble (9 March 2006) was not far behind, and completes the five bowlers in the history of cricket to have taken 500 or more Test Wickets.

The salary of a professional cricket player varies between country to country and league to league. But the most essential component in a crickets salary is based upon the number of fours, sixes, wickets, strike rate and economy that a given player can perform. Basically the more runs that an individual can score in any innings will overall provide an increase in any future salary, vice versa for a bowler to have as many possible wickets in a match.
