10 bowler-fielder combinations with most dismissals in Tests

#2 Anil Kumble and Rahul Dravid - 55 (1996 - 2008)

For twelve years, Anil Kumble and Rahul Dravid combined to give India 55 dismissals, an Indian record

The duo from Karnataka often went unnoticed when it came to their association in the field. Anil Kumble, India’s most successful bowler in Test cricket, and Rahul Dravid, the world record holder for most catches by a fielder in the format, are the second best bowler-fielder pairing to have graced the game in Tests.

Each time that Kumble found the thinnest of outside edges from the batsman, Dravid grabbed the opportunity to give India a wicket.

The story is told by 55 dismissal - an Indian record - itself: in total, Kumble got 619 wickets, and in 12 years after first having one caught by Dravid, finally ended the tale with his sudden retirement in 2008.
