About six years after he
played his last international
match, Anil Kumble, the former
India captain and one
of the most versatile wrist-spinners to ever play
the game, was inducted into the ICC Cricket Hall
of Fame.
The third highest wicket-taker in Test cricket,
Kumble is the fourth India cricketer to be inducted
into the Hall of Fame, joining former captains
Bishen Singh Bedi, Kapil Dev, and Sunil Gavaskar.
“It’s an honor to be inducted into the ICC Hall
of Fame,” said Kumble, who was inducted during
the innings break of the World Cup match between
India and South Africa in Melbourne, Australia.
“I deem it as a great privilege to join the list of
great cricketing luminaries.”
