On April 25 1990 during the Austral-Asia Cup in Sharjah he played his first ODI match against Sri Lanka. He picked up two wickets against Pakistan in the final game of the series.

He picked up three wickets in the first innings of the second test of the series which was contested at Manchester and he went without a wicket in the second which ended in a draw. The last Test he participated in was in 1992.Anil Kumble’s 13/138 performance for Rest of India against Delhi in the Irani Trophy clinched the latter’s triumph. He was able to tour with the Indian side in South Africa and Zimbabwe thanks to this performance. He made a name for himself as a strong spinner during the 1992 Indian tour of South Africa taking eight wickets in the second Test. In the four-test series he secured 18 wickets overall at an average of 25.94 and an economy rate of 1.84.

When England visited India later that year Kumble grabbed 21 wickets in three Test matches with an average of 19.8. At the third Test of the series contested in Bombay he took seven wickets for 165 runs as India went on to win the game by an innings and 15 runs. For his efforts he was named the game’s man of the match.

Before Ravichandran Ashwin overtook him by attaining the mark in nine matches Kumble’s record of 10 matches was the quickest by an Indian bowler to 50 Test wickets. After Erapalli Prasanna his 100 Test wickets in 21 Test matches are the second-fastest by an Indian bowler (who took 100 wickets in 20 matches). He set an Indian record for a very long time on November 27 1993 when he grabbed six wickets for just 12 runs in an ODI against the West Indies at Eden Gardens in Calcutta during the Hero Cup final.

Stuart Binny broke this record on June 17 2014 against Bangladesh. When Sri Lanka toured India in January 1994 Kumble notched up his first 10-wicket performance in the 14th game ensuring India’s triumph by an innings and 119 runs. In the game he took 11 wickets for 128 runs.

World Cup – 1996

Anil Kumble had an incredibly successful year in 1996 with 61 ODI wickets at an average of 20.24. He took 90 wickets overall in Tests and ODIs for an average of 24.14 making him the top wicket-taker of the year. Kumble was chosen for the Indian World Cup team in 1996.

Anil Kumble recorded three for forty-eight in the game which India ultimately won. They went on to lose to Sri Lanka in the semifinals with Kumble going 1 for 51.

1996 – 2008

Anil Kumble and Javagal Srinath both contributed to India’s Titan Cup victory over Australia in Bangalore in October 1996. When India was 164/8 and chasing a 216-run goal Sachin Tendulkar was out at 88. The pair then contributed 52 runs for the ninth wicket partnership. In the end India took home the Titan Cup.

India travelled to the West Indies in February 1997 for a set of five tests and four one-day internationals. Kumble was a member of the team and led the Test series in wickets taken. He had 19 wickets taking the ball for an average of 30.31. When Australia toured India for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in 1998 Kumble had a commanding lead in wickets taken. In 3 test matches he took 23 wickets at an average of 18.26.

Anil Kumble with a total of 10 for 74 is one of just three bowlers in history (the other two being Jim Laker of England in 1956 and Ajaz Patel of New Zealand in 2021). In Delhi’s second Test match against Pakistan in February 1999 Kumble accomplished this. However by failing to get rid of Pakistan’s Waqar Younis in either innings he was unable to complete the feat of eliminating every batsman in a Test match. According to legend Javagal Srinath began to bowl wide beyond the off stump once Kumble had taken nine wickets allowing Kumble to claim the tenth.

According to Wisden the performance was the second-best bowling performance of all time. A traffic circle in Bengaluru was named after him to honour his accomplishments and he was given a car with the personalised licence plate KA-10-N-10. He had 88 wickets at an average of 30.03 in 1999 placing him third after Glenn Mcgrath and Shane Warne.

Sadagoppan Ramesh the Indian opener attempted to take a catch off Srinath but Javagal Srinath warned him not to try to take any catches so that Anil Kumble could take all ten wickets. Regarding the specific game Anil Kumble’s 10 wickets versus Pakistan at Feroz Shah Kotla New Delhi in 1999 Ramesh stated this in an interview with 10 Sports. In the 1999 India-Pakistan test Kumble was attempting to grab his tenth wicket and Srinath bowling from the opposite end was attempting to avoid capturing the final wicket that would have allowed Kumble to break the record.

Since Srinath bowled two wide deliveries in the test match in order to avoid taking a wicket Anil Kumble always gives him full credit for his perfect 10 against Pakistan. On October 6 2004 Anil Kumble passed Kapil Dev to become the second Indian bowler to get 400 Test wickets. He was the third spinner to do it in Test cricket history behind Shane Warne and Muttiah Muralitharan. He needed 7 less Test matches than Warne and 30 fewer than Kapil Dev to reach the milestone. It had been 35 years since a comparable series victory when Kumble took 6-78 in the second innings of the last Test in Sabina Park Jamaica during the India-West Indies series in 2006.

Kumble made 45 runs in the first innings of the game passing Shane Warne to become the second player in the game’s history to reach 2000 runs and over 500 Test wickets. Kumble is the world leader in leg-before-wicket catches of batsmen.   When Kumble trapped Bangladesh’s Mohammad Rafique on December 10 2004 he surpassed Kapil Dev’s record-setting 434 wicket total and established himself as India’s leading wicket-taker.

On January 10 2005 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground Anil Kumble also took the field for the ACC Asian XI against the ICC World XI in an ODI match for the World Cricket Tsunami Appeal which was organised for the benefit of the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami victims. He recorded 2/73 in the game and 11 runs off 7 balls. He was selected by the ICC as the 12th member in the Test World Test XI for his 2005 efforts.

Anil Kumble dismissed Steve Harmison lbw in the second Test of England’s visit to India in March 2006 to record his 500th Test wicket. He achieved the milestone as the first Indian and fifth overall. He declared his retirement from ODIs on March 30 2007 upon his return to India from the 2007 World Cup.

Anil Kumble made his first Test century against England at the Oval on August 10 of that year with an unbeaten 110 to help his team finish with 664. He overtook Chaminda Vaas who had previously held the record with 96 Tests by needing 118 matches to get his first Test hundred setting a new record for the most games needed to make a century. Additionally it was the sole Indian hundred in the three-test series. He is the first cricketer in Test history to have both taken all ten wickets in an innings and scored a Test century.

The dismissal of Vaughan Kumble’s 900th international wicket and 563rd test wicket brought him even with McGrath a day after reaching his century.  Only Muttiah Muralitharan and Shane Warne have more wickets than he did when he later trapped Monty Panesar for an out by lbw to end the innings and pass McGrath on the list of all-time wicket-takers.

In his whole Test career Anil Kumble has bowled 40850 balls which is second only to M Muralitharan’s 44039 deliveries. On November 8th 2007 Kumble was chosen to lead the Indian Test cricket squad. Rahul Dravid a state colleague who quit as captain in September 2007 was succeeded by him. He is the only leg spinner on the team to hold the position of captain. A three-match series against Pakistan was played in India for his first series as captain of the Indian Test team. when the group triumphed 1-0.

Anil Kumble became the first Indian bowler and the third in the world to attain the milestone of 600 Test wickets on January 17 2008 during the third Test against Australia at the WACA in Perth. Just after the tea break Kumble set the record when he got Andrew Symonds to be caught by Rahul Dravid at first slip. Kumble took 600 wickets in 124 matches averaging 28.68 per game. The Indian spinner Kumble has taken the most wickets versus Australia. After Muttiah Muralitharan and Shane Warne Kumble is the third bowler to record 600 Test wickets.

There were only six more overs of the drawn game to be played when he declared India’s second innings. He finished with a score of 4-0-14-0.
