Former India spinner Anil Kumble demonstrated his class during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2003/04, bagging an eight-wicket haul at the SCG to almost put India on the verge of a historic series win Down Under. The visitors’ first innings total of 705/7 (declared) was powered by Sachin Tendulkar (241*) and VVS Laxman (178).

Following that, Kumble ran through the Australian batting order, bundling them out for 474 runs. The leggie’s 8/141, his best overseas performance, gave India a commanding 231-run lead. Australia, on the other hand, escaped with a draw thanks to Steve Waugh’s 80 and Simon Katich’s 77.
