Anil Kumble is the leading wicket-taker in both the Test and the ODI formats of the game for India, but was never a World Cup winner. Kumble had the ability to run through batting lineups throughout his career and has found tremendous success, but like many other legends, he too had an indifferent World Cup career.

He represented India in 3 World Cups but failed to lift the Cup on each occasion, with the 1996 edition proving to be his personal best in which he snapped 15 wickets in seven matches.

Kumble, throughout his career, has created many records ranging from being the third highest wicket-taker in the history of Test Cricket, to being only the 2nd player to take all 10 wickets in a single Test innings. He has done it all except for a World Cup win.
