1) Anil Kumble
Arguably one of the most gritty and intelligent bowlers the game has ever witnessed, Anil Kumble leads the way with 48 wickets, six more than Harbhajan having bowled 409 fewer deliveries.
What makes this accomplishment even more remarkable is the fact that 23.97% of the overs Kumble bowled at the Chepauk were maidens. A couple of four-wicket hauls and five instances of securing five dismissals in an innings is testament to the fact regarding the venue being one of Kumble's best in terms of statistical value.
His tireless outing under the scorching heat, bowling 64.3 overs and scalping 13 dismissals across both innings against Australia in the historic 2004 series was the main reason India didn't end up conceding a 0-2 lead to the visitors after the first two fixtures of the four-match series.
