Tough Moments

Anil Kumble's 6 for 12 against West Indies in the Hero Cup Final at Calcutta in 1993

The Hero Cup final was the occasion. Kumble bowled only 6.1 overs.

The quality of wickets secured by Kumble was not outstanding, with only Hooper and Adams being top batsmen. India was also defending a moderate total of 225.

The legendary accuracy of Kumble was partly responsible for moving up to this high position, as also the importance of the match. This great spell is 13th in Wisden's all-time list of bowling analysis.
