#2 Anil Kumble plays after suffering a broken jaw
Longtime Indian cricket fans remember Anil Kumble for being one of only two cricketers to ever have taken all ten wickets in an innings. What many aren't aware of is the fact that the legendary leg spinner once did his job with a bandaged face.
The Antigua test between India and West Indies in 2002 saw Anil Kumble come out with a bandage wrapped around his head, thanks to a lethal delivery by Merv Dillon that had broken his jaw.
He managed to bowl 14 consecutive overs and also sent Brian Lara to the pavilion. Vivian Richards, former West Indies cricketer and a legitimate cricketing legend, later stated that Kumble bowling with a broken jaw was one of the bravest things he had ever seen. When Kumble was asked about the incident, his response couldn't have been any more simple and to the point, as he said: "I didn't want to sit around".
