Anil Kumble was the first Indian bowler to take 10 wickets in an innings of an International Test Match. He achieved this milestone against India’s arch-rivals Pakistan back in 1999. Pakistan was chasing a target of 420 runs in the final innings to win the Test at the Ferozshah Kotla ground.

Saeed Anwar and Shahid Afridi gave Pakistan an excellent start and put on a century run partnership giving hopes to the Pakistani fans that they can still win the Test match. Ferozshah Kotla Stadium which is known for its turning pitch helped India make a comeback in the Test match.
