Which Indian bowler took 10 wickets in an innings?


Which Indian bowler took 10 wickets in an innings?

Anil Kumble took 10 wickets in an innings. This feat was achieved against Pakistan in 1999 at Delhi. Kumble shares this record with only one bowler (Jim Laker) in Test history. Kumble is a right arm leg spinner, with an unorthodox style of bowling. He is most famous for his ‘flipper’. He made his ODI debut against Sri Lanka at Sharjah in the Australasia Cup on April 25, 1990. He also made his Test debut in that year, in India’s tour of England in the second Test. Kumble is the leading wicket taker, and the greatest match-winning bowler for India. He has taken 547 wickets in 113 test matches. He has achieved ‘5 wickets in an innings’ 33 times. Kumble is only the second player (after Shane Warne) to score 2000 runs and take over 500 Test Wickets. On June 11, 2006 Kumble surpassed Courtney Walsh with 520 wickets to take the 4th place.
