5 greatest coaches of Indian Cricket Team

#3 Anil Kumble

India won every single Test and ODI series under Kumble's tutelage

Jumbo’s tenure as India coach lasted only a year but during that period, the Indian team produced some scintillating performances. Under Kumble’s tutelage, India won each and every Test series they played although most of them were at home. They also became the No.1 ranked Test team during that period.

India also won every ODI series they played during Kumble’s time as head coach.

The only series they lost was the T20 series against West Indies in the USA and the 2017 Champions Trophy where they were beaten by Pakistan in the final. Overall, India won 11 out of 15 Tests (drawing three and losing 1), 8 out of 13 ODIs, and 2 out of 5 T20Is.

Kumble was expected to have his contract renewed at the end of the Champions Trophy with BCCI’s Cricket Advisory Committee hinting that he would be reappointed as the coach. However, the former leg-spinner eventually resigned as the coach of the Indian Cricket Team with rumours suggesting that a rift between Kumble and Indian skipper Virat Kohli was the reason he stepped down.

Had Kumble not resigned, he could have probably taken Indian Cricket to newer heights.
