Three different bowlers, all of whom are spinners, share this remarkable record. Ten wickets have been taken in an innings during a test match by Jim Laker, Anil Kumble, and Ajaz Patel.

The first person to break this record was the legendary Jim Laker, who took 10 wickets against Australia in 1956 at Manchester’s Old Trafford. In the innings, he finished with bowling stats of 51.2-23-53-10, good for an economy rate of 1.03 runs per over.

Certain players have a special affinity for a certain stadium and perform at their best there because they feel a strong emotional connection to it. Muttiah Muralidaran also holds the test cricket record for the most wickets on a particular surface.

At the Sinhalese Sports Club Ground in Colombo, he has claimed 166 wickets. James Anderson, who has recorded 119 wickets at London’s renowned and breath-taking Lord’s Stadium, comes in second on this list.
