- When Kangaroos became chicken
5/91 vs Australia (Bangalore, 2008)
The veteran left-arm pacer ensured that India ended the early part of the first Test against Australia on a high. It was indeed a great presentation of swing and seam bowling that had left Aussies spellbound. His natural swing of the new ball got rid of the top order batsmen and unplayable reverse swing with the old ball ripped apart the tail-enders. Finished with 5-91 in first innings which earned him the man of the Match award.
