Ranking India's Top 10 Test match winners of all time
These great Indian cricketers will never be forgotten and their deeds will be remembered with reverence.
4.Anil Kumble
To put it bluntly, no Indian bowler could match Anil Kumble’s prowess with the ball in Test cricket. The leg-spin bowling virtuoso played 132 Test matches for India and scalped 619 batsmen. But then, it is his incredible numbers in a win that allows Kumble to grab the 4th spot.
In fact, such is Kumble’s record in a win that even if his wickets in a win alone were taken into consideration, he would still occupy the seventh place in the list of highest wicket-takers for India in Tests. And, Kumble’s numbers in a win are simply awe-inspiring. He has taken a stunning 288 wickets in a win, and he averages just 18.75 with the ball in a win, as against his career average of 29.65.
His most famous bowling spell in a win is the 10/74 that he took against Pakistan at Delhi in the year 1999, and he remains the only Indian bowler to have prized out all the 10 wickets to fall in an innings in Test cricket. The bowling great retired from Tests in the year 2008.
