Anil Kumble Quotations

The prototype of the academy is ready. We will have sports icons from other games too for imparting the best of skills and techniques to youngsters. Besides fitness, the focus will be on consistency in performance to remain on top in a competitive environment.

The pitch has not changed character at all,

No comments, ... I have nothing to say in this matter.

I am disappointed but never regretted the fact that I was never given the opportunity to lead the Indian side. You can only be as good as the opportunities you get.

He has on occasions assumed the role of a captain and that should serve him in good stead.

Having been there for 15 years I have learnt to take things positively and focus on improving my game and bettering my performance.

It is a great feeling to complete this milestone. I would like to dedicate it to all the players I have played with, the fielders who took the catches, bowlers who kept the pressure from the other end and batsmen who put big totals on board.

My strength has been the self-belief that has helped me perform at this level. My teammates and family have always been behind me, no matter what happens.

I would like to thank all the fielders who took the catches, bowlers who kept up the pressure from the other end and batsmen of the team who put up those big totals on the board.

When you look at India as a team, their record at home probably compares to Australia's as best in the terms of win record. But our performance outside gets highlighted only because the difference between our show at home and abroad is too much.

As only five bowlers in the world have got to 500, it's indeed special. To be the first Indian ever makes it a more special feeling.

It's a great feeling to reach the milestone. To become the first-ever Indian makes it more special. It's indeed very special since only five bowlers have done it in the world.

It's a great feeling to be able to get to this milestone, to be the first Indian ever makes it more special and being only the fifth bowler makes it very, very special. I owe it to all the cricketers I have played with and who have supported me. The fielders who took the catches, the bowlers who put pressure from the other end and the batsmen who scored the runs without which it was not possible to have come this far.

It's a great feeling to be able to get to this milestone.

It's a great feeling as it was a special Test for me.

That is the way I get most of my wickets. Yeah, it was very special to get there.

The fielders who took the catches, the bowlers who put pressure from the other end and the batsmen who scored the runs without which it was not possible to have come this far.

I never thought I would get this far.

I dedicate it to all the cricketers I have played with and who have supported me, the fielders who took the catches, bowlers who kept the pressure from the other end and batsmen who have got the runs to make it possible for me to take wickets.

The (Indian) team is doing very well. It's always good to be a part of a successful team. But I am sure I am in the scheme of things and the World Cup is one year from now... Lot of cricket from now till then.
