As Dale Steyn said, he lived a dream come true moment after catching up with legendary Australian Jeff Thomson and pride of Pakistan Wasim Akram at Lord's, the home of cricket.
Akram tweeted a picture of the greats of three different eras and wrote, "5 decades of fast bowling and over 1,100 test wickets between us. Dale Steyn, Jeff Thomson and I catching up last night in the Long Room at Lords."

Steyn couldn't believe he shared a frame with two iconic cricketers whom he grew up watching. He quote replied to the tweet and expressed his joy, "You two are legends! Never thought a kid from Phalaborwa would hang out with my heroes! #dreamsdocometrue."

Thomson, Akram, and Steyn, all of them are one of the most feared bowlers during their cricketing careers. The former Aussie pacer picked up 200 wickets in 51 Tests. His bowling partnership with Dennis Lillee is considered as a nightmare for batsmen. Same goes for Wasim Akram who scalped 414 Test wickets and gave the opponents a tough time.
Continuing the dominance of fast bowling, Steyn did justice to the red cherry and crushed the batsmen with pace and aggression. He is the highest wicket taker among these three with 419 wickets.
