Anil Kumble, who has suffocated all the best batsmen in the Indian cricket team with his leg-spin bowling, has been released in flashbacks where he was scolded by a legendary player to the point of crying for leaving the line without taking a catch in the early days.
Magical legspinner, Anil Kumble holds the record for taking most wickets among Indian bowlers. Anil Kumble who hails from the state of Karnataka has made many achievements in the Indian cricket team.
Anil Kumble, who had studied engineering, played well in local cricket due to his interest in cricket and made his international debut in 1990. His accurate legspin has suffocated many top batsmen. He has given many victories to India.
Anil Kumble shone as India’s star spinner in international cricket for 18 years. Anil Kumble had enough experience and growth to become the captain when he retired.
Anil Kumble has taken 619 wickets in Test cricket and 337 wickets in ODI cricket and has taken 956 wickets in both types of cricket and has set a record in international cricket. He has also made India proud as the 3rd bowler who has taken the most wickets in the world.
Anil Kumble’s 10-wicket haul in a single innings against Pakistan is still fondly remembered today.
In 1999, in a match against Pakistan held in Delhi, he became the Asian bowler who took 10 wickets in a single innings. After Anil Kumble, spinners Harbhajan Singh and Ravichandran Ashwin were off-spinners. Like him, the Indian team still lacks a leg-spinner.
Anil Kumble, who is the owner of many such achievements, stumbled a lot in the early days of cricket. There was a lot of opposition when Anil Kumble was selected in the Indian team because he thought that the tall and good looking Anil Kumble would not spin the ball much.
Accordingly, Anil Kumble bowled modestly in the first 2 years of his debut. He was not selected by the selectors for the 1992 World Cup held in Australia.
However, an undeterred Anil Kumble started picking up wickets with Lexpin showing variation with precision and speed.
After that, an up-and-coming Anil Kumble became India’s leg-spinner legend. Former Indian cricketer Bishan Singh Bedi has shared a flashback where Anil Kumble, who emerged as such, was scolded by Indian legend Kapil Dev to the point where he broke down in tears for not taking a catch in his debut match.
Anil Kumble, who made his debut against England at Old Trafford in 1990, dropped an easy catch from Alan Lump. Bishan Singh Bedi said that Kapil Dev scolded him for making that mistake on the grounds that normally all players stumble in debut matches.
The reason for his anger was that if he had caught that catch, he could have broken Richard Hadley’s world record as the highest wicket-taker at the time. Bishan Singh Bedi also praised Anil Kumble as a legend because he faced such difficulties in the debut match that he broke down in tears. Here is what he talked about in a recent interview:
“It was his Test debut. I was the manager of the Indian team during the match at Old Trafford. Then Kapil Dev scolded Kumble on the field for dropping a catch. Kapil Dev played more than 100 matches and was a senior even though he was a debutant. But at the end of the day when I went to the dressing room I saw Anil Kumble crying there. If you ask me, that moment made him stronger mentally. The fact that he burst into tears at that moment was very important. He has grown to this extent because he thought that he was acting modestly at that moment.
