Biggest task for Kumble is to beat tough teams: Sehwag

TIL Desk Sports/ Former swashbuckling opener Virender Sehwag believes India coach Anil Kumble is the perfect man for the job but said his biggest challenge will be to lead India to victory over big teams such as England, Australia and South Africa in Tests.

“I think he is the perfect man to coach India. He has scored a Test hundred as well as picked 600 wickets in Test matches. He is the most positive person I have met; he never gives up and that is the reason why the young team can learn a lot from him,” he said.

On Kumble’s biggest task, Sehwag said: “Biggest task is defeating sides like England, South Africa and Australia when they tour India and how he copes up with pressure when meeting tougher sides.”England, at the moment, are playing their best cricket and hope India does well against them the way they did against South Africa, late last year.”
