Anil Kumble has bowled in a Test match for the final time (see his final over here), more than 18 years after doing do for the first time. His retirement comes at a convenient time for India, with MS Dhoni and Amit Mishra seemingly ready to take over his captaincy and bowling commitments respectively, and questions being raised about his place in the team.
Kumble’s inestimable contribution to Indian cricket will be well remembered, and feats such as his 10 wickets in a single innings against Pakistan will be part of the sport’s folklore for years to come.
Good bye Kumble one of the greatest creater India has oroduced and one of the sport’s true gentlemen. We will miss you.
