The Karnataka star, who has so far played 77 Test matches, has the rare distinction of claiming all the ten wickets in an innings which he accomplished during the Test match against Pakistan at Delhi in 1999.

Kumble has also taken 308 wickets in one-day internationals.

Kumble, who made his Test debut in 1990 against England at Manchester, has also played for English county sides Northamptonshire and Leicestershire.

The 33-year-old player is the 14th cricketer in the world to take 350 or more Test wickets.
