Another farewell piece, this time from Sachin Tendulkar, as he looks back at the moments shared with Anil Kumble and Sourav Ganguly. The absence of both players will be felt in the dressing room as India will find itself without two of its most distinguished cricketers. In his piece in India Today Tendulkar provides a few snippets.
If something was happening, I would give the ball to Anil. If nothing was happening, I would give the ball to Anil. If you needed to contain runs, you give the ball to Anil. If you needed to attack, you give the ball to Anil. India will miss him every day and at all times.
When I’m asked about my most memorable moment with Sourav, there have been many but one that stays with me for some reason is flooding his room with water during our under-15 days. He had been sleeping and when he got up he had no idea what was going on. I don’t think I will ever forget the sight of his face. Of course, I’d made sure all his bats and pads were safely off the ground first, so no one could say I wasn’t considerate.
