5 memorable moments from Anil Kumble's career

While he was scheduled to return home for a surgery, the spinner decided to stay back and help his team out.

#2 10 wickets vs Pakistan in Delhi

Anil Kumble became only the second bowler after Jim Laker to pick up 10 wickets in an innings of a Test match.

Anil Kumble achieved the historic feat of grabbing all ten wickets in an innings against archrivals Pakistan at Delhi's Ferozeshah Kotla Stadium in the second Test match of the two-match Test series in February 1999. India went into the match already 1-0 down and were eager to win the match and level the series.

The match started off with a jitter as India scored just 252 in their first innings. But the bowlers did really well in restricting the rivals to 172 runs. The hosts then batted out the third day and set Pakistan a target of 420. However, Jumbo seemed to be in no mood to relax as he started his mission-10 right after lunch. He ended up with the figures of 10 for 74 making him only the second player to take 10 wickets in an innings after Jim Laker.
