Anil Kumble's Iconic 10-Wicket Haul Against Pakistan Turns 26

On February 7, 1999, Kumble became the second bowler in Test history to take all ten wickets in an innings, securing a memorable victory for India.

Anil Kumble took 10 wickets for 74 runs in Pakistan's second innings during the second Test in Delhi, leading India to a 212-run victory.
This historic achievement made Kumble the first Indian and only the second bowler in Test cricket history, after England's Jim Laker in 1956, to take all ten wickets in an innings.
Pakistan had started their chase of 420 runs strongly, with an opening partnership of 101 runs, before Kumble's relentless spell dismantled their batting lineup.
The match marked India's first Test victory over Pakistan in 23 matches, ending a drought that had lasted since 1979-80.
Kumble's performance remains a defining moment in Indian cricket, celebrated for its significance and the memories it created for fans across generations.
