Anil Kumble, Venkatesh Prasad, Muttiah Muralitharan: 11‑Wicket Hauls Explained

Anil Kumble’s 11‑for‑11 came in January 1994 at Delhi, where he took 4 wickets in the first innings and 7 in the second, helping India post 511 runs and bowl Sri Lanka out for 392. Two months later, Venkatesh Prasad’s 11‑for‑11 at Ahmedabad featured a 5‑wicket haul in the first innings and 6 in the second, leading to a narrow 17‑run win. Muralitharan achieved the milestone twice – once in 2001 at Colombo with 8 for 87 and 3 for 109, and again in 2008 with 5 for 84 and 6 for 26, both matches ending in Sri Lankan victories.
