Javagal Srinath's top 5 bowling spells in Tests

#4 Twin displays in the Kolkata classic (1999)

Match figures of 13 for 132 runs at Kolkata, 1999

Srinath's finest display of his career was completely overshadowed by the twin yorkers delivered by Shoaib Akhtar to dismiss Dravid and Tendulkar. On a helpful first morning, Srinath ripped the heart out of the Pakistani top-order with a clinical display of seam bowling.

He took 5 for 46 in the first essay. At one point Pakistan were 6 for 26, but an enterprising rearguard by Salim Malik and Moin Khan ensured some respectability.

In the second innings, Pakistan, leading by 38 runs and backed by a classy century by Saeed Anwar, looked set for a big total. Srinath delivered an inspiring spell of fast bowling with the second new ball to bring the Pakistani innings to an abrupt halt. He took 8 wickets for 86 in the second essay.

A scintillating display of reverse swing by Akhtar and Wasim Akram ensured Srinath's efforts ended in a losing cause.
