Kumble leads the way as Team India hits the nets

TIL Desk Sports/ Without wasting time, newly-appointed head coach Anil Kumble got down to work with the players at the Indian team’s four-day camp, in preparation for the upcoming Test tour of the West Indies later this month, in Bengaluru.

The legendary spinner got into the thick of action and bowled a few seam up deliveries during the second day of the camp at the National Cricket Academy on Thursday. An inspiring figure in his playing days, the former spin ace had his first interaction with the players on Wednesday, the opening day of the camp, since taking over as chief coach.

Presenting a fair idea of his leadership style in the role of India coach, Kumble said he plans to inculcate self-belief in his bowlers as he wants them to develop as leaders. Rain played spoilsport on Day 1 of the camp, but the players went through their fitness regimen, hopeful of remaining fit throughout the season.
