#3 Looking back at Kumble's 10-wicket haul

The 49-year-old played 132 Tests from India from which he took 619 wickets

Legendary spinner Anil Kumble will fondly remember this day 21 years back when he became only the second bowler to take 10 wickets in a Test innings against Pakistan. Kumble's 0/74 in 26.3 was only the second instance that a bowler took all of the opposition's wicket, following England's Jim Laker who took all 10 wickets against Australia.

A 132-Test veteran, Kumble broke Pakistan's spine after breaking their opening partnership of 101 between Shahid Afridi and Saeed Anwar. Pakistan, who were chasing a target of 420 runs, lost by 212 runs at Delhi's Feroz Shah Kotla.

Kumble had told BCCI in 2014:

"A 'Perfect Ten' isn't something you set out to achieve as a cricketer. I would attribute the events of 7th February 1999 to destiny,"

10 for 74! 😯Yes, you read it right. 😅 #OnThisDay in 1999, @anilkumble1074's 'Jumbo' effort crowned him the 2nd man to take all 10 wickets in a Test innings. Bonus: It gave #TeamIndia their first Test victory against 🇵🇰 after 23 previous tries! pic.twitter.com/7sS3JAqJpF
