Kumble retires from ODIs

"Extremely, Extremely, Extremely Tough." – Sachin Tendulkar.


IMHO, Anil Kumble is the greatest Indian bowler (and one of the greatest cricketers) ever. He has always been the unsung hero of Indian cricket. Can’t say/write enough about him, but I think this picture sums up his character and strength. When I think of Kumble, I think of these images.

Anil Kumble bowled despite having his jaw broken by a Mervyn Dillion bouncer the day before

Kumble ignored the pain to take the prize scalp of Brian Lara for just four runs
