8226;Delhi8217;s Ferozeshah Kotla has always been a happy hunting ground for the new Indian captain. Here are a few instances that show why he has always been lucky at the Kotla

8226;Kumble will make his debut at this ground as captain after playing 118 Test matches. This is a new record of captaining the side after playing the highest number of Tests. Steve Waugh captained after playing 112 matches

8226;Kumble made a comeback to the Indian team after taking 13 for 138 for Rest of India against Delhi during the Irani Trophy in 1992-93 at this ground. He was dropped after playing just one Test match against England at Manchester in 1990

8226;He has taken 48 wickets at an average of 15.45 in five Test matches that he has played at this ground and India has achieved victories in every match

8226;And of course, it was here where Kumble dismissed all 10 batsmen, only the second bowler after England8217;s Jim Laker to achieve this feat. He took 10 wickets for 74 runs against Pakistan in February 1999
