King of Kotla !!!

Another great inspiring personality and fighter till death is Anil Kumble, the King of Kotla. Hope everyone of us remember this (Feroz Shah Kotla) is the place where Kumble reached the feat of taking the entire 10 wickets in an innings to provide India a thumping win over the Pakistanis.

Kumble spear headed the Indian attack again in the same grounds to devastate the Sri Lankans with some splendid, accurate bowling. He ended up capturing a total of 10 wickets helping India to beat the Sri Lankans comprehensively. His favorite hunting ground has earned him the name, “King of Kotla”.

Kumble also registered a world record in this test by holding on to Attapatu’s return catch, and become the only bowler to make maximum number of caught and bowled, which reads 25 as of now.

Century 35 !

A big landmark was achieved by our Little Master Sachin, at the Feroz Shah Kotla grounds, Delhi, where India registered an authoritative victory defeating the Sri Lankans by a margin of 180 + runs.

Sachin made a well deserved hundred after quite a bit of hard work, his Century no 35, and currently this stands as the highest number of test centuries scored by anyone in the cricketing world. Earlier Gavaskar held this record for a long time with his 34 centuries.

In today’s world Sachin is the only cricketer to have crossed 10,000 runs in both forms of cricket, and I wish he breaks Lara’s record soon.

Keep it going Sachin! Every Indian is proud of you!!
