Anil Kumble, the former Indian cricketer and captain has been a part of many battles on the field. He was the highest wicket-taker in international cricket. He has contributed a lot to the Indian cricket, for which his fans loves him the most. He also never forgets to give back love to his fans.
Recently, Anil Kumble gave another example of his generosity and humbleness. He was travelling through a flight from Bangalore to Mumbai when one of his female fan spotted him but couldn’t gather the courage to go to him. She took to her twitter and showed the temptation to meet him. In her tweet she wrote about the historic test in the Windies in 2002, where Kumble bowled with a borken jaw.
Here, have a look at the tweet of the female fan of Kumble :
The legendary @anilkumble1074 in my BLR-MUM flight. Glanced at him once and was reminded of that game in West Indies where he bowled with a bandaged jaw. Teared up a bit. Gawwddd, I’m such a sucker for cricket memories. ?
