Wasim Bari was the first wicket keeper by taking seven catches in a Test inning

Pakistan Wasim Bari was the first wicketkeeper taking seven catches in a Test innings? But as the first instance of this involved two men: for Pakistan against West Indies in Kingston in 1976-77, Majid Khan stepped in for the injured Wasim Bari, who had been hit in the face while batting, and took 4 catches in the second innings; then Wasim Bari returned later and held on to three more. Since then there have been four instances of a wicketkeeper taking seven catches in an innings. The first was by Wasim Bari (on his own this time) against New Zealand in Auckland in 1978-79, and he has been followed by Bob Taylor (England v India in Bombay, 1979-80), Ian Smith (New Zealand v Sri Lanka in Hamilton, 1990-91) and Ridley Jacobs (West Indies v Australia in Melbourne, 2000-01).
