Top 5 test cricket moments for India against Australia in Bangalore

#2 Anil Kumble’s 400^th test wicket, 2004

Anil Kumble was the ultimate touchstone of aggression, precision and sheer consistency

If Indian batting had Tendulkar, its bowling had Anil Kumble. In a sport and in a country where batsmen are fawned over, Kumble weaved his own fairytale.

On batsmen-friendly pitches and in seaming-swinging conditions, he kept chipping in and pinching his way through batting line-ups on a consistent basis.

Anil Kumble was the ultimate touchstone of aggression, precision and sheer consistency. It was fitting that the combination of all of them led to him getting his 400^th test wicket in his hometown, on his own turf. Of course, the wicket that he took was an important one – he removed a dangerous looking Simon Katich in the tea session of day one.

Although Australia won the match by a huge margin, the Kumble-led Indian bowlers did not disappoint. The leg-spinner took 5 wickets through the length of the match.

Now, as Kumble returns to this very venue as the head coach of the team, can he create the same impact from the outside?
