New Delhi: What made Anil Kumble a unique bowler was his control over the ball and the subtle variations he used to flummox the batsmen. India's star leggie, who is now the coach of the national cricket team, is fondly remembered for his spell against Pakistan at the Feroz Shah Kotla ground, where he became the first Indian bowler to claim ten wickets in an innings.

On February 7, 1999, the legendary spinner stunned the cricket fraternity with a brilliant spell of spin bowling against arch-rivals Pakistan.

Chasing a target of 420 runs, Pakistan were in a respectable position at 101/0. But that's where Kumble picked up his first wicket and soon ripped through the batting line-up.
