On this day in 2008, Anil Kumble reached a landmark milestone of 600 wickets in the Test between Australia and India at Perth

Australia all-rounder Andrew Symonds became India’s spin legend Anil Kumble’s 600th Test victim on this day in 2008. There were only two other spinners who had over 600 wickets at that time and there is no prize for the correct guesses – Muttiah Muralitharan and Shane Warne.
