17 years back, on this day, former India Test skipper Anil Kumble became the first India to pick 600 wickets in Tests. No other bowler, who played before or with him even came close to him. Meanwhile, 17 years back, India were playing Australia in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy<\/a>. The Asian side were 2-0 down and were coming off a controversial Sydney Test that went against them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Talking about the match, the then Kumble-led side won the toss and elected to bat first. The team managed to get 330 runs at the end of their innings after batting for almost four sessions in the game. In reply, the home team had a poor start as they were struggling at 61\/5. At this stage, the likes of Late Andrew Symonds and Adam Gilchrist put together 102 runs for the sixth wicket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
