There's only one person who witnessed Jim Laker and Anil Kumble taking 10 wickets in an innings

There's only one person who witnessed Jim Laker and Anil Kumble taking 10 wickets in an innings.






















































Forty three years later Anil Kumble became only the second man in 1443 Tests to take all 10 wickets in a Test innings when he achieved that feat against Pakistan at Delhi’s Feroz Shah Kotla on February 7, 1999.



As a 10-year-old Richard Stokes witnessed Jim Laker taking all 10 wickets in the 1956 Old Trafford Test against Australia. Forty-three years later he was in India watching the India vs Pakistan Test and saw Anil Kumble taking all the 10 wickets in an innings. These were the only two Tests Stokes has watched in his life.
