Anil Kumble achieved the historic feat of grabbing all ten wickets in an innings against archrivals Pakistan at Delhi's Ferozeshah Kotla Stadium. In the 4th Innings India set a target score of 420 runs for Pakistan. Post-lunch, Kumble got his first success when he had Shahid Afridi caught behind by Nayan Mongia. The very next ball, Ijaz Ahmed was trapped LBW and Kumble was on a hat-trick.
Pakistan's tail folded out to Kumble's guile and precision and when Washim Akram fell as the last man, Kumble's name made its entry into the record books alongside that of Jim Laker's

Kumble's analysis of 10 for 74 masks the fact that he took all ten Pakistani wickets in one 21.3 over spell, conceding only 49 runs in the process.

Mickey,
You have forgotten to mention which test match if you are asking about a particular bowler or a particular match is undefined in your question.

As according to stats A.Kumble is the most successful bowler against Pakistan as he has taken 10 wickets in a Test Innings alone against Pakistan in India, under coach Anshuman Gaikwad’s coaching.

It came at the Feroz Shah Kotla New Delhi ground in 1998/99 as he also got man of the match award for the same as he took 10 wickets in an innings and match as well.

Kumble was recently appointed the captain of the Indian Test cricket team on 8 November 2007. His first assignment as captain was the three-test home series against Pakistan that India won 1-0. Then he led the Indian Test team on its tour to Australia for the 2007-08 four-test series of The Border-Gavaskar Trophy that India lost 1-2. Kumble succeeds his state team mate Rahul Dravid, who resigned as the captain in September 2007.
