“Knowing MS, he will give his 100%. Even when I played the IPL, the second season, I had retired from international cricket,” said Kumble, as reported by Indian media outlet NDTV Sports.
Anil Kumble also spoke about the inclusion of more Indian coaches in the IPL. Since the IPL is an Indian product he wants more of the Indian coaches to be coaching the franchises in the cash-rich league.
“I would like to see more Indian coaches in the IPL. It is not a true reflection of Indian resources. I would want to see many Indians being part of the IPL as head coaches. It is a bit of an irony – one Indian as head coach. I think at some point in time there will be a lot more Indian coaches,” the KXIP coach added in the same interview.
On the flipside, Anil Kumble will be in the hunt for Kings XI Punjab‘s first title hunt this season. He has his fellow state man KL Rahul as his captain this season along with the support of other foreign players like Glenn Maxwell, Chris Gayle and Nicholas Pooran.
