Kumble retires, an era ends..

"Kumble should retire", I was also one of the persons who demanded Anil Kumble's retirement. But there was enough justification for it, right? I guess when Kumble sent Ishant Sharma in as night watchman, the defensive mindset of India's former captain was exposed. How could he ever do that? It was insulting for me as an Indian fan to watch Ishant Sharma go out in the field as night watchman.

"Kumble retires", would be the front page news item in most of the Indian newspapers tomorrow. But not many would be debating the timing of Kumble's retirement? That is what I feel. He was, undoubtedly, one of the finest Indian spinners to have played the game and a champion cricketer, but his retirement came at the right time.
