Anil Kumble retired after the Delhi Test in 2008
Sourav Ganguly had already announced his retirement from international cricket after the conclusion of the 2008 Border Gavaskar Trophy in India. However apart from Ganguly, the then Indian skipper Anil Kumble abruptly announced retirement from international cricket after the third Test in Delhi and walked away midway through the four-match Test series.

Kumble led India with dignity during his short stint as captaincy at the Test level. Leading India to a Test win in Perth in 2008 and handling the monkey gate issue with maturity were the two main highlights of his career as Indian skipper.
The leg-spinner bagged 619 wickets for India in Tests, which is the highest ever in the history of Test cricket for an Indian and third highest in the world.
