New Delhi [India], Spin legend Anil Kumble, who achieved national heights in cricket while also plying his trade in the Indian Premier League (IPL), shared memories of the time he was signed for the Royal Challengers. Was. Former Bengaluru (RCB) owner Vijay Mallya included Kumble in the initial IPL auction in 2000 after he was not included in the initial list of icon players. Batting talisman and current Indian head coach, Rahul Dravid, is included in the list of icon players of RCB Apart from Kumble, who was nicknamed 'Jumbo' during his playing days, Kumble, who has all ten wickets in a single innings There is a record of taking wickets. I was in Test cricket with England's Jim Laker and New Zealand's Ijaz Patel, they were bought by RCB at their base prices because Mallya had insisted in the auction that 'no one' could touch them because "he's my Bangalore boy Is". “Yes, I mean it was one of those things where I was the captain of India in th Test and for some reason I was not part of the icon list so I was part of the auction.In which I obviously did not participate but my name was in the auction list. I remember as soon as my name came, I was not like that, now when my name came Mr. Vijay Mallya stood up and said he is my Bangalore boy touching him and that was the end of another bid coming. I think this was the base price at which I was bought and there was no auction dynamics that you see today, so I was told that they were not just because of the owner Kumble heart on Ravichandran Ashwin's YouTube channel "Standing up, he said there's no way, there's no way he's going anywhere other than Bangalore." During his three-year stint with RCB, Kumble Performed 42 times. For the Bengaluru franchise, he took 45 wickets at an average of 23.51 and an economy of 6.58.For the better part of his career, Kumble performed predominantly in the Test and OD formats, as T20I cricket took over in the latter stages of his career. Ahead of the inaugural season of the IPL, on the challenges faced in changing his approach from the longest format of cricket to the shortest, Kumble recalled, "For me, getting my mind set to bowl just four overs was quite challenging. Because when I started playing, I needed four overs to bowl an average of 55 to 60 overs in a Test match and when I came back, I used to think that if you bowl 60 overs, the tournament will be over. It wasn't easy for me to change my mindset, but it became clear that the best way to approach my four overs would be to choose the most challenging one rather than just thinking about bowling four overs, finishing my spell and then going after the batsmen. Wait to do your thing In the second season of the cash-rich domestic league, RCB made it to the final but lost at the final hurdle to Deccan Chargers, the Hyderabad-based franchise that is no longer involved in the IPL.
