Inzamam-ul-Haq was adjudged LBW off Anil Kumble in the second innings of the Mohali Test after making a well compiled 86.
Kumble had dismissed Inzamam in the similar fashion in the first innings also. This provided the 12th instance of a batsman getting out LBW to the same bowler twice in a Test against India.
Apart from Inzamam only one Pakistani has suffered this fate against India -- Saqlain Mushtaq in the Delhi Test of 1998-99 series. No prizes for guessing that Kumble was the bowler on that occasion too.
Apart from Kumble, Harbhajan Singh and Irfan Pathan have performed this feat on two occasions for India. Pathan's both instances were infact recorded in the same Test.
