Happy Birthday to Former Indian spin bowler Anil Kumble. When Kumble missed out on a century because of Sehwag, Veeru remembered the story on Jumbo’s birthday.
Former Indian spin bowler Anil Kumble, who made the big batsmen sweat with his bowling, turned 50 today.
On this occasion, former India opener Virender Sehwag has remembered his birthday by remembering a special incident.
Sehwag tweeted, congratulating Kumble on his birthday and wrote, ‘Officially I took 136 international wickets, but I also took one wicket unofficially, which proved to be quite expensive.
I once advised Anil Bhai to complete a century early by not taking an off-spinner and he was dismissed for 87 runs. Sorry Anil Bhai, but congratulations on the Half Century today. Happy birthday.
Actually, the Indian team went on an Australia tour in 2007-08. During this time the last Test of the series was played between 24 to 28 January. This match was a draw. Anil Kumble was batting well in the match.
