"Dream, Dream, Dream! Conduct these dreams into thoughts, and then transform them into action."

Anil Kumble was chosen as the coach of the Indian cricket team by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). He beat numerous other renowned personalities to land the most coveted job in the Indian cricket. Although, Kumble has never coached any team before, yet his incomparable record as a player more than makes up for it. That test match in May 2002 against West Indies, in which he played with bandage over his broken jaw, is a proof of his unbeatable spirit and commitment.
In his hey days, the formidable leg-spinner had won many important matches for India. Known to be a true blue gentleman, Kumble never hogged the limelight, but always remained a dependable player of the Indian cricket team. He is the only Indian cricket player to bag 10 wickets in a test innings!
Kumble’s professionalism has many admirers and he commands respect from everyone connected with cricket, including ex-players, current members of the Indian cricket team as well as the fans. With years of international cricketing experience behind him, Anil Kumble is the right man to coach and inspire the evolving Indian cricket team.
