New Delhi: Indian pacers took all ten wickets in a Test innings at home for the third time in the history as Virat Kohli & Co fought back against Sri Lanka in the first Test at Eden Gardens, Kolkata on Sunday.
On Day 4 of the match, the trio of Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Mohammed Shami and Umesh Yadav shared all Lankan wickets among themselves and restrict the visitors to 294.
Last time Indian pacers took all ten wickets in a Test innings was way back in 1983, in a Test match against the West Indies at Ahmedabad. But the first one came two years earlier, against England in Mumbai.
At Eden Gardens, Bhuvi and Shami took four wickets each, while Yadav contributed with a brace.
