Profile
No bowler in history won India more Test matches
than Anil Kumble, and there probably hasn't been a harder trier either. Like
the great tall wristspinners Bill O'Reilly and his own idol BS Chandrasekhar,
Kumble traded the legspinner's proverbial yo-yo for a spear, as the ball hacked
through the air rather than hanging in it and came off the pitch with a kick
rather than a kink. The method provided him stunning success, particularly on
Indian soil, where his deliveries burst like packets of water upon the feeblest
hint of a crack, and more than one modern-day batsman remarked that there was
no more difficult challenge in cricket than handling Kumble on a wearing
surface.
Kumble's prodigious capacity to bear pain was
proved in Antigua in 2002 when he bandaged his fractured jaw to deliver a
stirring spell, and that to continuously learn in the mid-2000s when, after a
decade of middling away performances, he influenced memorable wins in
Headingley, Adelaide, Multan and Kingston, using an improved googly, bigger
sidespin and more variation in flight and on the crease.
In a brilliant though always downplayed career
Kumble claimed virtually every Indian record. In 1999 in Delhi he swallowed all
ten wickets in an innings against Pakistan. In December 2001, on home turf in
Bangalore, he became the India's first spinner to take 300 Test wickets. A year
later, almost to the day, he became the first to do so in one-dayers. In August
2007 at The Oval he went past Glenn McGrath's 563 wickets and in January 2008
he broke the 600 barrier, to stand behind only Shane Warne and Muttiah
Muralitharan, emphasising his contribution to spin's golden era. And at The
Oval he chalked up what, judging by the pure ecstasy of his reaction and the
dressing room's, was perhaps his most cherished feat of all - a Test century
that had been 17 years and 118 matches in the coming.
Less than a month after his 37th birthday, he
received the ultimate honour when he was named India's Test captain for the
home series against Pakistan. He went on to win the series, the first home
triumph against Pakistan in 27 years, before playing a big role in holding the
side together during the controversial series in Australia. He was also India's
leading wicket-taker with 20 in the four Tests.
His form, however, slipped during the tour of Sri
Lanka and there were calls for him to quit after a wicketless performance in
the Bangalore Test against Australia. A shoulder injury added fuel to the fire
and an upset Kumble reacted sharply, saying that he had it in him to continue
for a while longer. However, he changed his mind during the Delhi Test and
announced his retirement, fittingly at his favourite venue. He finished his
career as the third-highest Test wicket-taker (619), behind Muttiah Muralitharan
and Shane Warne. He continued playing competitively, in the IPL, and his
leadership of the Royal Challengers Bangalore was instrumental in getting them
to the final in 2009 after a disappointing first season.
