Anil Kumble is regarded as one of the finest spin bowlers to have ever played the game

The legendary Indian spinner enjoys the top spot on the list of players to have the most number of wickets taken by LBW in Test cricket. In 132 Test matches, he has a total of 156 wickets, which were taken by LBW

He holds the second position on the list of players to have bowled the most number of balls in Test cricket. In 132 matches, Kumble bowled a total of 40,850 balls

The Bengaluru-born former cricketer is also placed in the second position on the list of players to reach 600 wickets in fewer matches. He took 124 matches to reach the feat

The former spinner also took 10 wickets in an innings against Pakistan in 1999, and as a result, he became only the second cricketer in history, after Jim Laker, to take all ten wickets in an innings of a Test match
