Kumble bows in HIGH

As a immense cricket enthusiast, I like many Indians would be in dissapointed to see Kumble on other side of the ground. I still remember between 1995-99, whenever India bowlers were torn apart, people used to say “Don’t worry boss, apna Kumble is hai naa, he will bring the opposition run rate down”. Rightly said he used to do it everytime when he used to come. It seemed that there were just 2 guys in Indian team then who were star that time Sachin with Bat and Kumble with bowl. Others were like support staff. This I am talking when Azar was ruling.

What was great about Kumble was his style of bowling, he maybe called a Legie but his bowling style looked more like an Medium Pacer with incredible turn and bounce. And who can forget Kumble’s rocket like Yorker…. And that LBW which he used to trap each one of the opponent.

My first LIVE match in a stadium was Wankhade when England were playing India last day and some 2 wickets of England were down and India needed 8 wickets to make a 3-0 whitewash. And that’s when I saw Kumble LIVE bowling and man he didin’t disappoint the Mumbai crowd, taking some 5 wickets and that’s too in STYLE.

Man we all will miss you.
