This lanky leg spinner is a true soldier and he is one among those who turned India into a great cricketing nation. Who can forget his heroism 
of bowling with broken jaw in Antigua Test? Former West Indian captain Sir Vivian Richards later said, "It was one of the bravest things I've seen on the field of play." On the other hand, his 10-wicket haul in an innings against Pakistan at Feroz Shah Kotla (1999) was an amazing show of craftsmanship. After equalling the world record of Jim Laker, Kumble once told me, “I never anticipated it. After getting the 7th wicket, I started dreaming about world record.” Today, a retired Jumbo is the highest Indian wicket taker in Test matches. In coming days, someone may break his records but Jumbo is always great, both on and off the field.
