Anil Kumble became the first Indian and fifth cricketer to claim 500 wickets in the history of Test cricket on Saturday.

The Karnataka leg spinner reached the milestone when he dismissed Stephen Harmison leg before wicket in England's first innings on the third day of the second Test in Mohali.

The 35-year old bowler, playing his 105th Test, joined the list that includes Shane Warne (659), Muttiah Muralitharan (600), Glenn McGrath (542) and Courtney Walsh (519).
