Taking all ten wickets in an innings is a very rare event. In the 147-year history of Test cricket, this has happened only 3 times.
The players who achieved this feat are,
- Jim Laker of England,
- Anil Kumble of India and
- Ajaz Patel of New Zealand
England’s Gym Laker
Previous English spinner Jim Laker turned into the principal player to accomplish this accomplishment at worldwide level, wrecking the Australian batting unit in the fourth Remains Test in July 1956. He surrendered only 53 runs in 51.2 overs including 23 lady overs. He took each of the 10 wickets at a normal of 1.03.
One more uncommon record was nearly made in this match.
His bowling in the principal innings was.. 16.4:4:37:9!
Had we got another wicket, maybe this would have made a solid record throughout the entire existence of cricket!
In any case, this was not the initial time for Laker to excuse all the resistance batsmen in an innings. He had accomplished a comparable accomplishment in a top of the line game on May 16 of that very year. Prior to going to the Cinders, the Australian unit partook in a couple of visit matches against English clubs.
Anil Kumble of India
On February 7, 1999, India’s legendary spin bowler Anil Kumble became the second bowler and the first Indian to take all 10 wickets in an innings of a Test match.
Kumble achieved this historic feat in the Delhi Test against arch-rivals Pakistan at the Feroz Shah Kotla ground (now Arun Jaitley Stadium).
Kumble bowled 26.3 overs including 9 maidens and demolished the Pakistani batting order in front of a packed stadium. He conceded just 74 runs in his spell.
BCCI shared a video of all the ten players getting out on Christmas to mark the day.

Ajaz proceeded with his noteworthy bowling execution from Day 1, where he got four wickets. On the morning of Day 2 of the continuous Test against India, Ajaz by and by upset the Indian batsmen and twirled a web around them to take the excess six wickets.
Ejaz took 10 wickets for 119 runs in 47.5 overs. The fall of the tenth wicket will be carved in the personalities of New Zealand players perpetually, when Mohammed Siraj lobbed the ball in the air and was gotten at mid-on.
