The current head coach of Indian team managed three scalps in this particular test. Anil ‘Jumbo’ Kumble took a staggering 619 wickets in Test cricket and remains the third-highest wicket taker – only behind Muttiah Muralitharan and Shane Warne. He also captained India in 14 tests, before retiring in 2008.

The first thing that pops into people’s mind when one hears the name Kumble will probably be his 10/74 against Pakistan in 1999, becoming only the second player after Jim Laker to dismiss all 10 batsmen in an innings.

Post retirement, he has served in the role of chief mentor for Royal Challengers Bangalore and Mumbai Indians in the IPL. Kumble was appointed the chairman of International Cricket Council (ICC)'s cricket committee in 2012. In 2015 he became the only Indian from this lineup to be inducted into the ICC Hall of Fame (fourth overall). The legendary leg spinner will look to mould the new generation of Indian cricketers in his current role, in the days to come.
