India found itself in the record books for an unexpected reason during the Test match against Pakistan held in Bangalore from 8-12 December 2007. In Pakistan’s first innings, the Indian bowling and fielding unit conceded a staggering 76 extras — the most ever given away in a single Test innings in men’s cricket.

The tally included 35 byes, 26 leg byes, and 15 no-balls. Remarkably, no wides were bowled during the innings, making the high extras total even more unusual.

While the contest between the arch-rivals was fiercely competitive on the field, this record became a talking point among cricket fans and analysts, highlighting the fine margins where discipline in bowling and sharpness behind the stumps can make a difference.

Despite this hiccup, the match remained a memorable chapter in the storied rivalry between India and Pakistan.
