Former India captain Kapil Dev’s 8/106 is the best Test bowling figure in an inning in Australia to date. It was the first Test of the 1985-86 Border Gavaskar Trophy in Adelaide, and India was playing Australia on their home turf for the first time in 5 years.

Kapil used a combination of bouncers and swinging deliveries to take eight wickets, including those of his Australian counterpart Allan Border. On the back of Kapil’s performance, India limited the hosts to 381 runs in the first innings and scored 520 runs in response. The match, however, eventually ended in a draw.
