Anshul Kamboj's 'Perfect 10': 3rd Bowler in 39 Years to Take All 10 Ranji Wickets

Remember the name Anshul Kamboj. This promising Indian fast-bowling all-rounder is back in the headlines, sparking fresh buzz around one of modern cricket’s rarest achievements. While the current 2025-26 Ranji Trophy season is underway, it’s his jaw-dropping performance from November 2024 that has everyone talking again.

Key Takeaways

  • Anshul Kamboj took all 10 wickets in a single Ranji Trophy innings in November 2024 against Kerala, a feat known as a ‘Perfect 10’.
  • He became only the third bowler in the entire history of the Ranji Trophy to achieve this incredible milestone.
  • Kamboj’s performance was the first time a bowler had claimed a ‘Perfect 10’ in the tournament in 39 years.
  • On November 2, 2025, he showcased his all-round skills for India A, scoring an unbeaten 37 and taking three wickets to secure a win against South Africa A.

A Feat 39 Years in the Making

Yeah, you read that right. Taking all 10 wickets in an innings is the stuff of dreams. But Anshul Kamboj turned it into reality. Back in November 2024, playing against Kerala in the Ranji Trophy, he systematically dismantled their entire batting lineup. One by one, they fell. All ten of them. To him.

But here’s the thing that makes it truly historic. This wasn’t just a great spell. It was a statistical marvel. Kamboj became only the third bowler ever to pull this off in the Ranji Trophy’s long and storied history. The last time it happened? 39 years before his incredible feat.

More Than Just a Bowler

So, is he just a one-hit wonder? Not a chance. Fast forward to November 2, 2025. Kamboj was in action for India A against a tough South Africa A side. And he proved he’s a genuine all-rounder who can win matches with both bat and ball. He was instrumental in their three-wicket victory.

First, he did what he does best, tearing through the opposition with his impressive new-ball skills to bag three crucial wickets. But he wasn’t done. With the game on the line, he came in and smashed an unbeaten 37 to carry his team over the finish line. Clutch.

What This Means for Indian Cricket

Look, players like this don’t come around often. Kamboj is already being lauded for his amazing accuracy and rhythm as a fast bowler. But his recent heroics with the bat show he has the temperament and skill to be a complete package. As the 2025-26 Ranji Trophy season, which started on October 15, 2025, heats up, all eyes will be on him.

His ‘Perfect 10’ is a legacy moment, a story that will be told for decades. But his performance for India A shows that he’s not looking back. He’s looking forward. The current season runs until February 28, 2026, giving him plenty of time to create even more magic. Could we see another historic performance from him this year?
