New Delhi : Anil Kumble became the first Indian bowler to capture 100 wickets against one country – 102 at 27.38 runs apiece in 16 Tests against Australia – when he dismissed opener Phil Jaques in the second innings of the second Test at the Sydney Cricket Ground Saturday.

Kapil Dev had bagged 99 wickets at 30.12 runs apiece in 29 Tests against Pakistan, the most by any Indian bowler before Kumble achieved the feat.
