Anil Kimble’s story and his profile can be termed as that of a great sportsman. This is not because of  his stupendous score of 619 Test wickets, a score which seems to sort of an impossible task for any other current Indian bowler. It isn’t because of his success stories as a Captain. It is because of the display of ‘real character’, a saintly like silence amidst controversies, and still rearing to play. Who can forget the image of a Kumble with a broken jaw getting down on the field to play on the St.Jones ground of Antiga? Kumble will play for Challengers in the second feat of IPL when he has taken leave from the international cricket. But, to think that Kumble’ charm has gone will surely be a mistake.
