Anil Kumble

Kumble is the highest wicket-taker for India in Tests

Anil Kumble is probably the polar opposite of Shane Warne. If Warne was famous for his turn, Kumble was known for his relentless accuracy and, well, lack of turn. He was nicknamed 'Jumbo' for his ability to make the ball bounce unexpectedly.

Kumble flummoxed batsmen with his pace variations and speed off the pitch. He possessed a deadly flipper that amounted to countless leg-before dismissals.

In 1999, at the Feroz Shah Kotla in Delhi, Kumble created history when he took all 10 wickets in an innings against Pakistan and finished with unprecedented figures of 10/74.

Kumble retired after playing in 132 Tests and capturing 619 wickets. He also scored a solitary Test hundred, against England.
