5 reasons why Anil Kumble is the perfect choice for being India's coach

Huge help for Indian spinners

956 international wickets in 403 matches tells you that he was not only India’s most successful spinner but was also one who won games for India both home and away. And having a mentor like that for the current crop of spinners can only be a good thing.

India’s spin cupboard is not exactly bare but has shown itself to be easy to counteract especially away from home. Aside from the fact that Kumble is an incredibly successful spinner who proved himself everywhere he played, his experience would certainly be a huge help for Indian spinners.

Ravichandran Ashwin may be a lion at home, but away from home, he hasn’t really been able to have a similar impact. And that is even before mentioning the amount of leg spinners India have tried unsuccessfully, to replace Kumble. While it is true that he might not be able to convert everyone into world-beaters overnight, his experience will certainly be invaluable
