Best Bowling performance in Tests: 9 for 83 vs West Indies at Ahmedabad (1983-84)

Nine scalps of the West Indian batting line-up that read Gordon Greednidge, Vivian Richards, Larry Gomes, Clive Llyod, Gus Logie, and Geoffry Dujon, apart from the bowlers.

Balwinder Singh Sandhu, Kapil Dev’s opening bowling partner, claimed the first wicket to fall in that particular innings -- that of Desmond Haynes. Kapil just kept working away at the rest. This was the only nine-wicket haul of his career although he took eight wickets in an innings on two occasions.
