West Indies batsman Brian Lara has the highest individual score in Test cricket: he scored 400 not out against England in 2004 to surpass the innings of 380 by Matthew Hayden six months earlier. Lara had held the record before Hayden, with a score of 375 against England 10 years earlier.
One of the most successful spin bowlers in international cricket history, Anil Kumble, holds a BE degree in Mechanical Engineering. The leg-spin bowler graduated from Rashtreeya Vidyalaya College of Engineering, Bangalore, in 1991-92.
3 Indian bowlers with the most Test wickets in a losing cause
- Anil Kumble is India's highest wicket-taker in Test match cricket, with 619 scalps to his name.
- Left-arm spinner Bishan Singh Bedi's unmatched craft and guile bamboozled batsman in the 1970s.
- Anil Kumble even went on to captain the Indian team in a legendary international career.
10 Best Bowling Figures In Test Cricket History
- Jim Laker 10/53. This incident hails from 1956 when a spinner took all 10 wickets in an innings.
- Anil Kumble 10/74. This is when the 'Jumbo' came up with a jumbo exhibition of fine bowling.
- George Lohmann 9/28.
- Jim Laker 9/37.
- Muthiah Muralitharan 9/51.
- Sir Richard Hadlee.
- Abdul Qadir 9/56.
- Devon Malcolm 9/57.
But only nominally can Kumble be classified as a leg-spinner, for he does not specialise in temptations that end in a stumping, or a catch at long-off, and a deceived bat slammed against pad.
