Anil Kumble
As an opposition, Sri Lanka will always be close to India's spin wizard Anil Kumble's heart, since he created a number of records against them.
Between 1993 and 2008, India’s leading wicket-taker in Tests, played 18 matches against Sri Lanka and claimed 74 wickets to take the second place on this list.
The man who has two 10-wicket and four five-wicket hauls under his belt, claimed 10 wickets in a match for the first time in January 1994 against Sri Lanka at Lucknow.
In December 2005, Kumble took his eighth 10-wicket haul and led India to a 188-run victory against Sri Lanka in Delhi.
When Kumble decided to hang his boots in November 2008, he was the third-highest wicket-taker behind Shane Warne and Muttiah Muralitharan with 619 wickets from 132 Test.
