Anil Kumble (India) - 10-74 at Delhi,
1998-99:
India registered a massive victory, their first over Pakistan since Chennai in
1979-80 to draw the series. The headlines were dominated by leg-spinner Anil
Kumble, who claimed all ten wickets in Pakistan's second innings and thus
became only the second bowler in Test history to 'perform the Perfect Ten' in a
Test innings. English off-spinner Jim Laker performed this feat against
Australia at Manchester in 1956.
Kumble's match figures of 14-149 in that game remain the third-best by an
Indian in Tests. His first eight overs went for 37 runs. His last nineteen
overs cost the same number of runs, but yielded him ten wickets! India won the
match by 212 runs with Kumble bagging the Man of the Match award.

Imran Khan (Pakistan) - 40 wickets in
the 1982-83 series:
The great all-rounder completely mesmerized the Indian batsmen with his deadly
inswinging deliveries. He bagged forty wickets at an astonishingly low average
of 13.95 in the six-match series. A famed batting line-up consisting of Sunil
Gavaskar, Mohinder Amarnath, Dilip Vengsarkar, Gundappa Viswanath and Sandeep
Patil failed to cope with his vicious pace and swing. Pakistan won the series
3-0.

Sikander Bakht (Pakistan) 8-69 at Delhi, 1979-80:
The Pakistani youngster's outswing brought him the best analysis by any
visiting bowler in a Test innings in India, and a record for Pakistan that
stood until the 1982-83 series. Sikander bowled 20.1 overs unchanged on the
second day, capturing the first eight wickets that fell to a bowler after Imran
Khan had retired due to injury in mid-over. India fought back in the second
innings to ensure a draw.
Vinoo Mankad (India): 8-52 at Delhi, 1952-53 :
India's legendary all-rounder bagged eight wickets in Pakistan's first
innings as the visitors were bowled out for a paltry 150. His innings analysis
(8-52) and match figures (13-131) were Indian records at the time.
