Anil Kumble

Ravichandran Ashwin might be currently enjoying his day under the sun, but few can deny the fact that Kumble was India’s best spinner, a proven matchwinner who can turn into a machine on any pitch. Unconventional, he didn’t rely as much on turn, as he did on variation and change of pace.

India’s leading wicket-taker in Tests, Kumble retired from international cricket in the same series as Ganguly, although he continued to represent and mentor the Royal Challengers Bangalore in the IPL. He later turned administrator, mixing his duties with mentorship of the Mumbai Indians.

He won the race for the post of Head Coach of the Indian team by a mile, taking over the reins before the West Indies tour. Under him, the team has won three consecutive Test series, and Virat Kohli has been in prime form.
