one more exceptionally brilliant bowler is going to history.i started this blog only recently that's why i missed few other bowlers who picked my attention in my early days as a ardent cricket lover .i feel to call them as a triad who ruled indian cricket after the magnificently talented our one and only all rounder kapil dev.who are they?srinath,prasad and kumble.the three men army from karnataka.i think they were the bowlers who stand out with mohammad azharuddin in his days in the centre stage.
coming back to Mr.anil kumble,who can forget that night India beat west indies in the final of hero cup.that 6/12 still excites me.i have immense respect for this soft spoken tall engineer who bowled like medium pacer through out his career.
i saw him as a team player with immense confidence and killer instincts.but this man irritated me too at some times with his poor batting skills.
in my opinion ,in the last few years he was overshadowed by harbhajan singh ,otherwise he would have reached 400 mark in one day crickets.the young singh was opted against him considering his firework batting and much better ability to spin the ball.
still he survived against all odds ...........will remain in the history books with his 10 wicket haul against Pakistan
salute to u ........kumble...............salute
