1998 Sharjah Coca-Cola Cup final- India XI: Where are they now?

8. Anil Kumble

Anil Kumble was one of India’s greatest match winners of all time

One of the best bowlers India have ever produced, Anil Kumble took the wicket of Darren Lehmann in the final. Kumble, who is revered for his immaculate line and length bowled a tight spell in the final as he conceded 46 runs in 10 overs with a maiden.

A gutsy customer, Kumble showed tremendous courage when he bowled with a broken jaw in a Test match against West Indies in 2002. Probably one of the greatest match-winners for India in Tests, Kumble decided to call curtains on his glittering career in 2008.

His captaincy skills came to the fore when he was appointed India’s skipper in Tests in 2007. He led the side with great gumption and delivered some splendid performances.

He made a foray into cricket administration and was also elected as The President of the Karnataka State Cricket Association in 2010. Kumble’s name was inducted into the ICC Cricket Hall of Fame in 2015 and he is also the chairman of the ICC Cricket Committee. Besides his administerial duties, the wily leg-spinner has dabbled in commentary too.
