India's 2003 World Cup Squad: Where Are They Now?

#12 Anil Kumble

Anil Kumble has undoubtedly been India’s most successful spin bowler till date. He ended up with 619 wickets to his name which is third highest behind Muttiah Muralitharan and Shane Warne. He would have found himself extremely unlucky to have only played three matches in the entire tournament in 2003 where he bagged 5 wickets.

He led the Indian bowling attack for many years after the World Cup and also led the Indian test side for a year from 2007 to 2008. After his retirement in 2008, he played in the Indian Premier League for the Royal Challengers Bangalore for a few years. After his retirement from the IPL, he took up roles as the chief mentor of RCB and Mumbai Indians between 2012 and 2015. He is currently the head coach of the Indian cricket team.
