Anil Kumble's 300 wicket haul
Indian leg-spinner Anil Kumble became only the third bowler in history to claim 300 wickets in both Tests and one-day internationals when he bowled West Indian batsman Marlon Samuels on Wednesday in the first ODI.
The only other bowlers to achieve that double are Pakistani duo of Wasim Akram and Waqar Younis.
