Here are the 3 bowlers who have taken most wickets in Tests at MA Chidambaram Stadium -

3) Kapil Dev

Probably one of the best all-rounders produced by India, Kapil Dev was one of those who changed the dynamics of Indian cricket forever. 

The Haryana Hurricane picked up a total of 40 wickets in the 11 Tests he played at the Chepauk (more than 8% of the Tests played in his career) with a couple of four-wicket hauls and as many five-fors. 

For a fast-medium bowler to end up with a strike rate of 46.57 at a venue which is not all that conducive for pacers is a remarkable achievement. Interestingly, Kapil's overall average is significantly greater at 63.9. So, the Chepauk could be well and truly attributed as a happy hunting ground for the Chandigarh-born maestro.
