The best ever quote on Kumble

If there has to be a best ever quote on Kumble, it has to be from Maninder Singh. This is what he had to say on the Irani Trophy game, following which Kumble got a place in the Indian side instead of him. At that time, Kumble had achieved 500 wickets.

Thanks God he got 13 wickets because we got such a great cricketer. When I sit and think of it now, I feel happy that I wasn’t picked and he was. I would thank selectors for it because they did a great job. They had a great eye and we got somebody for the future. I mean more than 500 wickets in Tests! I would not have reached anywhere near it. So well done selectors for picking him after that game.
