A Young Coach
Anil Kumble retired in Oct 2008 and has played with some current players in the IPL. He knows the strengths and weaknesses of each player.

Experienced Campaigner

He has served his nation for many years and earned a huge respect in the country. He has been awarded with Arjuna award, Padma Shri award, Wisden cricketer and named in the ICC Cricket Hall of Fame. So, it’s not just a name but a huge respect that comes along with Anil Kumble.
Messiah for Young Indian Spinners
