History was created when Srinivas Venkataraghavan, a member of India's penetrative spin quartet, upset the Kiwis by dismissing all of their eleven players in a single Test match in the 4th Test match of New Zealand's tour to India, in 1965.

Srinivas is the only Indian bowler to achieve this remarkable fit till date. The accurate off-break bowler picked up 8 wickets in the first innings of the Test match; John Reid, Bruce Taylor and Richard Collinge were the only three batsmen who survived from getting dismissed by Srinivas. However, all three of them were dismissed by Srinivas later in New Zealand's second inning of the game.

The match-winning bowling performance from Srinivas, where he picked up 12 wickets conceding just 152 runs, helped India demolish the Kiwis by 7 wickets, as India had to chase just above 70 runs in the final innings of the match.
