Anil Kumble, the legendary spinner ruled in international cricket on the back of his brilliant spin bowling. He always hogged the spotlight due to his on-field performances while playing for Team India. But, his coaching career came to an end on a controversial note.

He was appointed as the coach of Team India back in 2016. And, under his mentorship, the Men in Blue won 12 out of their 17 Tests and ended up losing just one game. However, just after a year, he shockingly resigned from the post. Later on, Kumble stated that the BCCI informed him about the fact that the captain had reservations with his style of coaching and about him continuing as the head coach.

The 49-year-old was quite furious over the behaviour of Virat Kohli due to which he had also given a statement that read,”In light of these ‘reservations’, I believe it is best I hand over this responsibility to whomever the CAC and BCCI deem fit.” The fans had never expected that Anil Kumble’s tenure as the head coach of Team India will come to an end in such fashion.
