Anil Kumble’s act of heroics

Unfortunately, Kumble was caught off guard and took his eyes off the ball, missing the line of delivery. The ball hit him in the jaw, causing significant damage. He was immediately taken to the hospital for an X-ray, which revealed a broken jaw and dislocated teeth. Kumble was scheduled to fly back to Bangalore the following day for surgery.

The injury was a huge blow for the Indian cricket team, as Kumble was the spearhead of the Indian bowling attack. Despite being in immense pain and facing potential fatal consequences if he got injured again, Kumble was determined to play in the match. Despite the concerns of the Indian physio, Andrew Leipus, Kumble was resolute in his decision to bowl the next day. He stated, “At least I can now go home with the thought that I tried my best”.

Kumble’s determination and bravery were admirable, and his decision to bowl with a broken jaw despite the obstacles and the pain serves as a testament to his passion for the game and his unwavering commitment to the team. His heroic act inspired many and is still remembered as one of the most remarkable moments in Indian cricket history.
