Watch: When Anil Kumble bowled LEFT ARM spin, literally!

India vs Australia Ranchi Test: Anil Kumble was spotted at the net session of the Indian cricket team, bowling with his left arm

Anil Kumble is one of world cricket’s best leg-spinner and has picked up the highest wickets as an Indian bowler ever. Currently, he is on a mission to conquer the visitors Australia who are in India for the 4-Test match series. Into the fire and aggression flaring due to the DRS gate featuring Virat Kohli, Steven Smith, Kumble is here as a supporting cast as well. Kumble, according to media reports, barged into the match referee’s room looking for an explanation of his soft stance in the DRS gate.

Anil Kumble feels the match referee should have taken it upon himself to punish Steven Smith and not allow the ICC to step in. The ICC, meanwhile, cleared both the cricketers denying any action against Steve Smith.

But the incident we are focusing on is when Kumble hit the nets not as a coach, but as a bowler and a left arm spinner at that. He used to be a pacy right arm leg spinner. To bowl with his left arm takes courage to think of doing it and immense belief to actually walk the talk. He was spotted at the net session of the Indian cricket team, bowling with his left arm.

In the video, he runs in from an angle Pragyan Ojha would have opted for and then he darts the ball as he delivers it. Super skills to have. Jumbo, as he is popularly known, will play an important role in sharpening the loose ends ahead of the riveting Ranchi Test.
