Farewell, comrades

Tendlya speaks about Kumble & Ganguly.

Whenever I’m asked about how much India will miss Anil I remember what he meant to me when I was a captain. 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.

Sourav has played for more than 10 years and we will miss his presence in the dressing room. I don’t think there is any cricketer who has not gone through a bad patch and so did Sourav, but he showed tremendous grit and determination to come back. As much cricket as I’ve played with him and seen him play, this period is the best I’ve seen him bat. He will go out with his head high.
