However, Anderson&#39;s wickets have come in 165 Test matches at an average of 26.51.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The 38-year-old Steyn had played very few Tests in recent years due to injuries.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;Today I officially retire from the game I love the most. Bitter sweet but grateful,&quot; said Steyn in a note on his Twitter handle on Tuesday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The right-arm pace bowler took 26 five-wicket hauls.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>He also played 125 ODIs and 47 T20Is taking 196 and 64 wickets in the two formats respectively. At his peak, he formed a deadly combination with Morne Morkel and Vernon Philander.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;It&#39;s been 20 years of training, matches, travel, wins, losses, strapped feet, jet lag, joy, and brotherhood. There are too many memories to tell. Too many faces to thank,&quot; he added in his note.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Also Read: <\/strong> <a href=\"www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-series\/india-tour-of-england-2021\">India tour of England, 2021 <\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;So I left it to experts to sum up, my favourite band, the Counting Crows,&quot; he wrote while putting out American band Counting Crows&#39; lyrics in his farewell note.<\/p>\r\n",
