5 popular Indian players who played their last Test against Australia

#4 Anil Kumble

The beloved captain

The Jumbo retired in the same series in which Sourav Ganguly hung up his boots, but Kumble said goodbye in the third Test in New Delhi. The game ended in a draw, but Kumble ensured that with a 1-0 lead in the series, India weren’t in danger of losing the series.

Kumble, in an interview, mentioned that his body wasn’t able to cope with the rigours of the game after 18 years of serving the nation. He suffered a finger injury in the third day of his farewell match which he reckoned to have made the decision easier.

Kumble came back to bowl four overs in Australia’s second innings before the match was called off with no possibilities of a result. With 619 wickets in 132 games, even after nine years of retirement, he is India’s leading wicket-taker in Test cricket.
