<p>One day after James Anderson became the first fast bowler to claim 600 Test wickets, Dwayne Bravo on Wednesday grabbed a slightly lower-profile record by being the first player to take 500 Twenty20 wickets.</p>.<p>The 36-year-old West Indies all-rounder reached the landmark in the Caribbean Premier League in his native Trinidad.</p>.<p>Playing for Trinbago Knight Riders, Bravo had Rahkeem Cornwall of St Lucia Zouks caught by New Zealand's Colin Munro in the fourth over of the game.</p>.<p>He then claimed his 501st for good measure by bowling Roston Chase before rain stopped play.</p>.<p>"It's a great journey, I want to say thanks to all my teammates. Thanks to all the teams that I play for around the world," Bravo told Star Sports.</p>.<p>"To be able to achieve that right here at home - this is where I started playing cricket you know? At age 8. It's where it all started for me and I can't be happier to get that 500 here at the Queen's Park Oval."</p>.<p>Bravo, one of the world's most sought after T20 players, has endured a roller-coaster international career.</p>.<p>The last of his 40 Tests came in 2010 while the last match of his ODI career of 164 games for the West Indies came in 2014.</p>.<p>However, he played in both of the West Indies' Twenty20 World Cup winning teams of 2012 and 2016.</p>.<p>Bravo, whose globe-trotting has seen him employed by more than 20 teams, was also the first bowler to 300 and 400 wickets in the sport's shortest format.</p>.<p>"This is a batsman's game. We bowlers have it very hard. My position is I bowl at the back end of the innings to some quality players," added Bravo.</p>.<p>"So yes, I accept the fact that I go for runs, but as you can see I also get wickets as well. And that is a part of the game. For me to dominate a batsman-friendly game like this - I'm happy."</p>
