18 years of India's legendary Anil Kumble when he was regarded as the second player who took 10 wickets in a test series against Pakistan. It's been 18 years to 7 February 1999 when the great leg-spinner was awarded the title.

The test series was conducted between the two countries for the first time. Kumble's technique to play beat Pakistan in the second test by 212 runs.

"It's a dream, an honor to get all 10," Kumble quoted when he was awarded man of the match. He added "I knew I had to bowl straight to be successful on this wicket. I kept a good line and it all worked out in the end."

Praising Harbhajan Singh, Javagal Srinath, and Venkatesh Prasad, Kumble said "I don't think I would have got there without their support. It was a great team effort, but the best thing is that India won the match to level the series."
