Kumble began the third Test against England, on his home ground at Bangalore, with 299 wickets against his name.

Looking nervous, he bowled 22 unsuccessful overs on the opening day of the match, with his mother in attendance.

"My mother came to the stadium on the first day, but could not make it today because she had taken ill," Kumble said.

The 66-Test veteran trapped last man Matthew Hoggard lbw with a typically fast delivery, which straightened on pitching as the entire stadium erupted in joy.

"It is a great feeling to achieve it on your home ground," he said.

"I've probably spent more time here in the last 11 years than at home so it's very special."

Comeback from injury

Kumble is only the fourth spinner to join the 18-strong club after Australia's Shane Warne, Sri Lanka's Muttiah Muralitharan and West Indian Lance Gibbs.

But until October his career had been in doubt after seven months' rehabilitation from shoulder surgery.

"It is frustrating to sit out of the game that you love for almost a year," he said.

"And the support from my family, especially my wife, has been very helpful.

A year ago, England all-rounder Andrew Flintoff found himself similarly troubled by injury, a recurring back injury meaning he did not bowl at all for more than six months.

But, thanks to a modification in his action, he is also back and firing, taking all three wickets to fall in the Indian second innings to leave them 99 for three - 237 runs behind England.

"This time last year I pretty much resigned myself to the fact I would never bowl again," he said.

"So if someone had said then that I would open the bowling for England I wouldn't have believed them."

Runs required

While Flintoff, 24, has failed to score the runs required at number six, he has bowled with hostility with the new ball on some unhelpful surfaces.

"I am making an extra special effort with the ball to try and make a mark within the team," he added.
