Anil Kumble

The Indian Cricket Board (BCCI) appointed Anil Kumble as the head coach of India for a period of one-year. This is the first time since Kapil Dev (2000) that an Indian has been made in-charge of the team.

Kumble was among the handful of applicants that wanted to take one of the most high-pressure jobs in the world. The BCCI after a lot of deliberation appointed Kumble as the new head coach of the team.

The BCCI president Anurag Thakur in a statement confirmed Kumble’s appointment. He said that the Indian team has got the best person, who has been a match-winner in his playing days.

“There was no such limitation that we have to look for only Indian coach,” Thakur said. “We wanted the best for Indian team. We deserve the best. We have Anil Kumble with us. He has been a match-winner for India.”

In one year Kumble is required to prove that he is up for the task. Coaching the Indian team is no joke. His every game as coach will be scrutinized by both fans and media.

“It’s a great honour. I know it’s a huge challenge. A huge responsibility,” Kumble said. “There’ll be a lot of expectations. I’m looking forward to contributing back to Indian cricket.”

The former Indian captain don’t have any coaching experience. The closest he get to coaching was mentoring an IPL team for two season.
