Five best economy rates when India faced Australia

#4 Anil Kumble

The tall leg-break bowling legend was, unlike his contemporaries, not a very big turner of the ball. Pace and accuracy were the two biggest attributes of the Bangalore-born former Indian Captain Anil Kumble.

Kumble ended his career as the third-highest wicket taker in international cricket with 956 scalps. Nicknamed "Jumbo", the tall Kumble played 29 ODIs against the Aussies and picked up 31 wickets with the best of 3/42.

The former Indian head coach had an economy of 4.89 even after bowling to the greatest of the Aussie legends like Ricky Ponting, Adam Gilchrist, Michael Bevan and Matthew Hayden on flat tracks most of the time.
