Salute to the Man Jumbo The True Champion

Anil Kumble Bid Adeiu to a wonderful career on 2nd of November 2008

And with the 3rd test match ending in a tame draw, all the focus now shifts to a man who has carried all the pressure, praise, criticism, adulation, accolades so very well on those broad shoulders. We're talking of a man who has shown the world what commitment is, a man who has always believed to walk the walk and not talk the talk. Anil Kumble, probably one of the stand out figures in Indian cricket known more for his Lion-hearted character than anything else. Remember this man has done it all for his nation, right from pouring sweat till blood. He has played with a broken jaw, went on playing with raw injuries and did it all without a single blemish or a complaint on his face. He has always been a champion. Experts always say that you can judge a person's actual popularity and nature by the way he is treated by the people who have seen him from close quarters. There it is, all his team mates have gathered around him, hugging him and bidding farewell to a true champion.

The last wicket which was a caught and bowled which he took with broken fingers when people were dropping sitters perfectly exemplifies the defiance and teh spirit of the man

Salute to you Jumbo
