Former India captain Anil Kumble celebrated his 49th birthday on Thursday. Kumble had been an integral part of the team for many years. From scalping a ten-for against Pakistan in an innings to bowling with a broken jaw against West Indies, he has been a legend of the game. Here’s how cricket fraternity has wished the spinner on his special day.
