5 things that can be expected from Anil Kumble's Team India

2. Controlled aggression and disciplined approach

Kumble seldom showed aggression on the field

One would be highly mistaken to consider Anil Kumble’s mild-mannered approach to be his lack of aggression. The Karnataka leggie was always aggressive as a bowler but had the ability to control it and display it only through his bowling. The Virat Kohli-led Indian team has often been accused of being over-aggressive on the field and Kumble’s presence could provide them with a much-needed calming influence.

Discipline is another huge asset that someone like Anil Kumble brings to the plate and it is a trait that he will be expected to imbibe into the young Team India. Although the Indian legend is unlikely to be too strict with the players, their respect for him may help him do the job of keeping them in check.
