Meet bowler who is just 3rd Indian to claim all 10 wickets in Ranji Trophy not even Anil Kumble achieved this, had bamboozled Pakistan batters and played for Mumbai Indians
History was created in the Ranji Trophy 2024 match between Haryana and Kerala on Friday as pacer Anshul Kamboj became on the third Indian to claim all 10 wickets in the innings in the history of the tournament. Kamboj emulated the feat of Premansu Chatterjee for Bengal vs Assam in 1956-57 season and Pradeep Sunderam for Rajasthan against Vidarbha in 1985-86 season.
The former Mumbai Indians pacer ran through Kerala side, which was missing Sanju Samson, to claim 10/49 in to bundle them out for 291 in 116.1 overs. While leg-spinners Anil Kumble and Subhash Gupte achieved this feat in Test cricket, Kamboj is the one who managed to take all 10 wickets in Ranji Trophy tournament.
Kamboj becomes just the sixth Indian bowler to claim all 10 wickets in a first-class match. The others are Premansu Chatterjee, Pradeep Sunderam, Debasis Mohanty (East Zone vs West Zone, 2001), Anil Kumble and Subhash Gupte.

The tall pacer was selected for the ACC Men’s Emerging Asia Cup recently where he ran through the Pakistan ‘A’ batting line-up to claim 3/33 to restrict India’s arch-rivals to 176 for 7 and set up India’s seven-run win in match.
He turned out in three matches for Mumbai Indians in IPL 2024 and claimed two wickets, including the wicket of Travis Head in a match against Sunrisers Hyderabad.
Kamboj shot into prominence in the last domestic season and was picked up by Mumbai Indians for the IPL 2024 season. As Haryana claimed the Vijay Hazare Trophy title for the first time, Kamboj was among the leading wicket-takers, taking 17 scalps from 10 matches.
He has 23 wickets from 15 List-A games to his name. Before making his IPL debut with Mumbai Indians in 2024, Kamboj had featured in only nine T20 matches.
With his 10-wicket burst, Kamboj also claimed his 50th first-class wicket in just 19 matches. Kamboj ended the second day with eight wickets to his name. In the first over of Day 3, Kamboj castled Basil Thampi for his ninth wicket and completed his landmark 10th wicket by dismissing Shoun Roger, bundling Kerala for 291 in the first innings.
