Top 10: Fastest bowlers to 400 test wickets

#4 Anil Kumble - 85 matches

Anil Kumble

'Jumbo', as he was fondly called by his team-mates, developed as one of India's premier spinners with his clever mixture of variations. The leg-spinner's height often came to the fore as he managed to acquire considerable bounce at a lively pace off the surface that planted a seed of doubt in the minds of the batsmen who faced him during his career.

In 1999, Kumble etched his name in the record books as only the second bowler to pick 10 wickets in a test inning, a feat which he managed to achieve against arch-rivals Pakistan in 1999 at home. As his career saw a steady rise, he was given the captain's role in 2007 and won his first series as captain against Pakistan at home.

In 2008, he became the first Indian bowler to reach the milestone of 600 test wickets and when he retired in 2008, he had 619 test wickets to his credit from 132 matches and the leggie continues to hold the record for the most wickets by an Indian bowler in tests.
