The legendary Indian spinner Anil Kumble, Jumbo, has bid farewell to the game yesterday. He has taken the tough decision keeping in mind the recurring injuries that have plagued him in recent years. As the Jumbo retreats, he leaves behind a distinguished legacy. Over the last 18 years, he has given us a lot to cherish.
Beyond the stupendous achievements that are evident in the statistics, Anil Kumble has inspired us by his brave heart. The picture of the Jumbo bowling with a fractured jaw at Antigua, and getting the prized scalp of the all time great Brian Lara is forever etched in our minds...This man has been the epitome of dignity and decency in the gentleman’s game. Naturally, he commands respect both on and off the field. He is a true role model, and may God give him all that he wish for in the years to come...
We love you Jumbo.....
