Most batsmen caught in an innings

Rajneesh Gupta | September 21, 2004 12:26 IST

A very rare occurrence took place in the last league match of ICC Champions Trophy between India and Pakistan. Batting first India could manage only 200. What was amazing with India's performance was that all ten Indian batsmen were dismissed CAUGHT - four behind the stumps, one caught & bowled and remaining five in the field. This provided only the sixth instance in ODI history of all ten wickets in an innings falling in this fashion.

Note: On 33 further occasions, nine batsmen were caught in same innings

Continuing with the trend set by their arch-rivals, Pakistani batsmen also deemed it fit to lose their wickets in the similar way until Sehwag managed to bowl one delivery that disturbed Abdur Razzaq's furniture. However two more caught dismissals in Pakistan's innings took the match tally of catches to 16 - joint third highest in ODIs as is evident from the following table:
