Anil Kumble's Perfect Ten (1999)
Indian leg-spinner Anil Kumble achieved the incredible feat of taking all 10 wickets in a One Day International (ODI) match during a game against Pakistan on February 7, 1999, in the city of Delhi, India. Kumble's performance in this match is etched in cricketing history as one of the most extraordinary bowling displays in limited-overs cricket.
In that match, Pakistan was chasing a target of 276 runs to win. Kumble, known for his accuracy and variations, produced a mesmerizing spell of leg-spin bowling. He dismissed all 10 Pakistani batsmen, finishing with remarkable figures of 10 wickets for just 74 runs in 10 overs. This achievement remains unparalleled in ODI cricket, and Kumble's "Perfect Ten" is a testament to his skill and determination as a spinner.
