Perfect 7 hero's for Kumble? part2

However Kumble spun India to famous victories in England, West Indies and Australia over the last four years and proved that he could be dangerous anywhere in the world. It is sort of a cliché now but it was very appropriate for a certain someone to assert that ‘India does not know how to treat its heroes’.

Former India captain Gundappa Vishwanath who belongs to Kumble’s state, Karnataka, voiced his concerns to cricketnirvana.com about great players getting written off and stood up for the Indian captain, saying that he will be back stronger than ever.
“You can never write him off. The biggest problem today is that people who haven’t played or understand the sport are saying that he is not a good captain and bowler. We sitting in India don’t have to make assessments about him, the whole world knows what Anil Kumble is about.,” Vishwanath said.
Former India spinner Maninder Singh feels that Kumble has lost the zip in his bowling and that his bowling has affected his captaincy. However he was quick to assert to cricketnirvana.com that champion cricketers are capable of bouncing back strongly.
Kumble’s record in 2008 tells the story. He has taken just 25 wickets from 9 Tests at an average of 52 runs per wicket. This is the first-ever instance of Kumble playing not taking a five-wicket haul after playing these many Tests in a single year.
