Teen takes perfect 10

Indian teenage fast bowler Rex Singh wrote his name in the record books by becoming one of a select band of bowlers to take all 10 wickets in an innings. The 18-year-old Singh, playing for the northeastern state of Manipur, unleashed a devastating spell of left-arm pace and swing bowling to return the remarkable figures of 10-11 in 9.5 overs. Singh took a match-haul of 15 wickets in the under-19 Cooch Behar Trophy four-day match played in northeastern Arunachal Pradesh state. Singh’s feat helped skittle out Arunachal Pradesh for 36 runs in its second innings as Manipur won comfortably. Singh became the second player in the current season to accomplish the feat after Sidak Singh, Puducherry’s left-arm spinner, took all the 10 wickets against Manipur in the U23 CK Nayudu Trophy. Only two bowlers have taken all 10 wickets in a Test innings. India’s Anil Kumble took 10-74 in 1999 and Jim Laker of England took 10-53 in 1956.
