Haryana pacer Anshul Kamboj entered into record books with a 10-wicket haul in a Ranji Trophy fixture against Kerala. Watch all his dismissals below.
Kamboj started day three of the fifth round of the tournament just two wickets shy of scripting history. He ended Kerala No.9 M.D. Nidheesh’s 23-ball 10 vigil with a beautiful in-swinger. Nidheesh failed to gauge the line of the ball and was bowled through the gate.

The momentous occasion finally came off the first ball of the 117th over of Kerala innings. Shoun Roger, batting then on 42, tried to punch Kamboj off the backfoot, edging the ball to wicketkeeper Kapil Hooda. The bowler celebrated in ecstasy, becoming only the third bowler to claim a 10-wicket haul in a Ranji Trophy innings. Kerala's innings ended for 291.
Kamboj finished with 10-49 off his 30.1 overs, recording the best figures by a Haryana bowler. He surpassed Joginder Sharma's 8-24 against Vidarbha in 2004-05.
