After being appointed as the head coach of Indian Cricket team, Anil Kumble for the first time interacted with the media. The legendary leg spinner in his very first press conference made it clear that\u00a0Indian cricket is bigger than any individual and it\u2019s about helping the team do well and achieve greater glory.<\/p>\n
During his first media interaction ahead of the tour of West Indies, Kumble was asked the obvious question on Shastri. Kumble answered it as magnificently as he used to give\u00a0in his playing days.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was the first one to call Ravi when I was chosen as coach. He did a fantastic job. It\u2019s not about Ravi or Anil; whoever it is, it\u2019s about the Indian team doing well, performing to its best,\u201d Kumble told the media.<\/p>\n
Kumble also spoke about the changes he wants to bring into the Indian team and no surprise in that, he wants the whole team to fight till the end, just like he used to in his playing days.<\/p>\n
\u201cWin or lose, the fighting spirit should always be there,\u201d Kumble said.<\/p>\n
The ‘Jumbo’ of Indian Cricket wants the bowlers to take the lead and express themselves in West Indies.<\/p>\n
\u201cI want the Team India bowling group to believe that they are leaders. Ishant Sharma will lead the bowling on West Indies tour,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Kumble wants\u00a0the captain to hog the limelight, while he guides the team in the background.<\/p>\n
\u201cCaptain will take the call on the field, I will only assist him. Players will be in front. The coaching and support staff will be in the background,\u201d Kumble said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
