An unorthodox, right arm leg spin bowler, not a great turner of the ball but exceptional with his line and length.
One of the most Unforgettable scenes from his great career is when he bowled 14 overs with a broken jaw against the West Indies. India of course did not win the test match, but Kumble's committment will always be reminisced for the years to come.
And who can ever forget the Magnificient Ten wickets against pakistan.
The relentess fighter, humble to the core, was however dropped from the finals of the last World cup and India paid a heavy price for it.
His ever so famous googly and flipper, along with his faster balls won many a matches for India besides reviving the art of leg spin.
Adios JUMBO ,..YOU WILL BE MISSED
