Anshul Kamboj hace historia al tomar 10 terrenos en el Trofeo Ranji, el tercer jugador en lograr esta hazaña.

Haryana’s pacer Anshul Kamboj claimed all 10 wickets in a single innings against Kerala during their Ranji Trophy 2024/25 round five match held in Rohtak on Friday. On Day 3 of the fifth-round Ranji Trophy clash in Lahli, Anshul Kamboj tore through Kerala’s top order. He dismissed all four of Kerala’s half-centurions before tea, reaching his milestone of 50 First-Class wickets in just his 19th game.

With incredible figures of 10/49, Kamboj became only the third bowler in Ranji Trophy history to achieve this feat. The other two bowlers are Bengal’s Premangshu Chatterjee (10/20) and Rajasthan’s Pradeep Sundaram (10/78). Previously, the best innings figures for a Haryana bowler were held by Joginder Sharma, who took eight wickets against Vidarbha in the 2004/05 season.

At stumps the previous day, Kamboj had already picked up eight wickets. On the first morning over, he bowled out Basil Thampi for his ninth and then dismissed Shoun Roger, sealing his tenth wicket and bowling out Kerala for 291. Kamboj’s final figures were an impressive 30.1-9-49-10.
