On February 7 in 1999, former Indian spinner and the current national team coach Anil Kumble made history. He became the first Indian bowler to capture 10 wickets in a single innings in a Test match against Pakistan at the Feroz Shah Kotla in Delhi. Kumble became only the second bowler in Test cricket after Jim Laker to grab ten wickets.

India were facing Pakistan in a two-match Test series and India needed to win at Delhi to tie the series. A strong show by the Indian batsmen saw them set a target of 420 for Pakistan who needed just a draw to win the series. However, a fiery spell by Kumble saw them being bowled out for 207. It was India’s first win against Pakistan in 19 years as well.

Pakistan were cruising at 101/0, however, with Kumble being brought into the attack, they collapsed to 128/6. Kumble’s first victim was Shahid Afridi followed by Ijaz Ahmed and Inzamam-ul-Haq. Saeed Anwar too fell for 69, the top score by a Pakistani batsman in that innings. Captain Wasim Akram tried his best to withstand Kumble’s attack and played a patient knock of 43. However, in the end, Kumble bowled a splendid delivery that Akram edged to VVS Laxman, who took the catch and history was made. India won the match by 212 runs with Kumble bagging all ten wickets in front of a packed crowd

Not many newspapers discussed the circumstances in which Pakistan crashed out for 202 after being 101 for no loss at one stage. But former West Indies fast bowler Michael Holding was very harsh and critical of the umpiring by Ajit Jayaprakash.

"The picture changed when play resumed after lunch. What looked likely becoming an exciting, keenly fought battle for the second Test, was somewhat spoiled by a gentleman in the white coat," Holding wrote in The Indian Express.

"It all fell apart in Anil Kumble's third over after lunch. Two deliveries, two very questionable decisions and the Pakistanis found themselves at 101 for two," Holding wrote, adding: "Kumble might have been a bit fortunate just after lunch when he started the Pak decline but has to be said that be bowled brilliantly in the second and third sessions."

While most of the Indian papers tried to play down the umpiring controversies, The Pioneer was, however, daring to attribute Kumble's success to some favourable umpiring.

"The win was not without niggling controversies," said The Pioneer in its front page report.

Achieving 10 wkts was indeed an exceptional achievement.

Personally I remember this tour for those 2 consecutive electrifying yorkers bowled by Shoaib Akhtar to Tendulkar and Dravid. Fast, reverse swinging balls at unprecedented speed knocking off the stumps of 2 technically very correct batsman of that time.

Hmm quite right..aktar was one of the best bowlers of that time and still we think that if we had one aktar in our team
Here generally very few sane ones are that dare to accept good as good and bad as bad..
If u ll say somethings good ,if its good, we will also agree ..but vice versa is not true for pak members thats y i keep taunting and trolling bcz idiots understand only one language (the one which hurts them badly)..i dont really like it but what can be done..mine is not the action its reaction..
