Since his debut in international cricket in April 25, 1990, he has taken over 560 Test wickets and 330 ODI wickets.

He is one of only two bowlers in the history of cricket to have taken all 10 wickets in a test innings, the other being Jim Laker of England.[2] Kumble is currently ranked the 7th best bowler in Tests by the International Cricket Council. He was awarded Padma Shri by Government of India in 2005.
