Jumbo Performance

On 8th February 1999, Anil Kumble worte his name in the history books, when he took all the 10 Pakistani wickets in the Delhi Test at Feroze Shah Kotal. Pak needed 420 to win and got off to a more than flying start when Afridi and Ahmed took the score past 100 run mark.
The first one to take all the 10 wickets in an innings was Jim Laker. Here is the Pakistani second innings with Kumble written all over it.
