India's squad that beat Pakistan in Bangalore in the 1996 World Cup: Where are they now?

India won the match by 39 runs

#8 Anil Kumble

Kumble picked up three key wickets in the match

Anil Kumble returned with match figures of 3-48 from his 10 overs and was crucial in restricting the Pakistanis. He also struck a couple of meaty blows towards the end of the Indian innings to help push the India total further.

The Karnataka leggie picked up 619 wickets in Test cricket and 337 ODI scalps to his credit. He is one of the most successful bowlers of all-time, and used his height to great advantage. He also captained India in Test cricket towards the dusk of his cricketing career.

He was elected as the president of Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA), post his retirement in 2008. Kumble was also appointed as the Chairman of ICC Cricket Committee in 2012. He has all played mentor roles for IPL sides like RCB and Mumbai Indians and currently serves in the capacity of Head Coach of the Indian cricket team.
