Anil Kumble announces retirement
India captain Anil Kumble has announced that he plans to retire from Test cricket after the third Test against Australia.
In 132 Tests, Kumble took 619 wickets, the highest among Indians and third in the all-time list.
The champion leg spinner has decided to call it quits on a ground where he has tormented the best of batsmen and teamsn over the years. Kumble's illustrious career spanned nearly two decades.
It was at the Feroz Shah Kotl, where Kumble bagged all 10 Pakistani wickets in the February of 1999 and spun India to a magical win.
Over the last few months, Kumble has not had the best of time on the field and has come under criticism for his form and fitness. Kumble injured his fingers in the first innings of the Kotla Test when he tried to take cach to send back Matthew Hayden.
The gritty spinner came back to bowl with 11 stitches on his fingers.
