Haryana's fast bowler Anshul Kamboj created history on the ground of Lahli. Anshul single-handedly destroyed the entire team in the first innings against Kerala. Anshul took all the 10 wickets of Kerala and became the first bowler from Haryana and the sixth bowler in the country to achieve this feat in Ranji Trophy history. Anshul is the third bowler to take 10 wickets in an innings of a Ranji Trophy match. After 39 years, a bowler has achieved this feat in Ranji Trophy. He is the first player to do this in Indian first class cricket after 2001. Let us now tell you which 6 Indian players have done the magic of taking all 10 wickets in first class cricket.
The first Indian bowler to take 10 wickets in an innings was Subhash Gupte, who took 10 wickets in an innings against PCS Bhawalpur XI while playing for Mumbai. After this, in 1957, another Indian bowler did this feat and breaking his record is not only difficult but impossible. In the year 1957, Premanshu Chatterjee, while playing for Bengal, took 10 wickets for just 20 runs against Assam.
In the year 1978, Rajasthan bowler Pradeep Sundaram achieved the feat of taking 10 wickets for 78 runs against Vidarbha in 1985. In 1999, Anil Kumble achieved the feat of taking 10 wickets in international cricket. He created this history by taking 10 wickets for 74 runs in the Delhi Test against Pakistan in 1999.
Team India's former fast bowler Devashish Mohanty has also achieved the feat of taking 10 wickets in the innings. In 2001, he took 10 wickets for just 46 runs against South Zone. The interesting thing about Devashish Mohanty is that this player could play only 2 test matches for Team India. Devashish Mohanty made his Test debut for Team India on 9 August 1997 and played his last Test in Mohali in November 1997.
