Most stampings in a test innings : record held by Kiran more (5 stampings) vs West Indies in 1988(Chennai test)

Interestingly most of the other innings that saw 3 or 4 stumpings were played in the 1900's . Very rare occasions of them in the near past. The latest entry was sarfaraz against SL in 2015.

 RCF #6: Vinod Kambli’s Test match average(54.20) is better than his friend Sachin Tendulkar(53.8)

[sourab10forever]

RCF #7 : The highest number of runs scored in an over is not 36. It’s 77. It happened in a domestic game in New Zealand. The idea was to give as many runs as possible to batsman so they could take risk lose last two wickets. At the end match resulted in draw.

But no longevity. Sachin played a high number of matches. So the comparison is not right.
