Haryana’s Anshul Kamboj Creates History by Taking All 10 Wickets in Ranji Trophy - Read Now
Haryana’s Anshul Kamboj made history by taking 10 wickets in an innings against Kerala in the Ranji Trophy, becoming the third player ever to do so. Kamboj’s sensational performance adds to his growing reputation in both first-class cricket and the IPL.
In a stunning exhibition, Anshul Kamboj from Haryana has carved his name into history books in the Ranji Trophy. He was the one who took all ten wickets in one inning as Kerala were bowled over in the ongoing season. The feat was achieved during the fifth-round match at Chaudhry Bansi Lal Stadium in Lahli, making him only the third player in the history of the Ranji Trophy to dismiss every batsman in the opposition's lineup.
Rare and Historic Performance
The last Ranji Trophy innings was claimed, when a player bagged all the 10 wickets, was in the 1985-86 season by Pradeep Sunderam. Earlier, in 1956-57 season for Bengal, Premangsu Mohan Chatterjee had set the trend. He also reminds one of the great achievement in the history of cricket by Anil Kumble way back in 1999 when he took 10 wickets in a Test against Pakistan. Kamboj's performance against Kerala testifies to his extraordinary skill and determination in modern-day cricket, where it has become more difficult for bowlers to do what he did in an era of flat pitches and aggressive batting.
The Sensational Performance by Kamboj
Then came Kamboj's 10th, when Shaun Roger of Kerala went for a superb catch by Kapil Hooda. His spell is a sensational effort in a season where batting has dominated most formats. What goes with his growing reputation is the fabulous ability to perform in high pressure.
History at Lahli!
