Anil Kumble ne kal Delhi test ke aakhiri din pratham shreni cricket se sannyas le liya. Nabbe ke dashak se apane career ki shuruaat karane vale anil ke 18 varshon ke antararashtriy cricket ke safar ka main sakshi raha hoon. is dauran bharat le liye diya gaya unaka yogdaan kisi bhi hisab se sunil gavaskar aur kapil dev se kamatar nahin hai, aisa mera manana hai
Kumble ka naam aate hi ek aise khiladi ki shakl jehan men ubhar kar aati hai jisane hamesha tim ke hit ko sarvopari rakha. ye khiladi jab bhi maidan men utara apana sarvasv jhonk kar aaya. Isiliye antim test ke liye jaise hi kunbale ko ye laga ki sharirik roop se vo poornatah saksham nahin hain, usane is shrrnkhala ke bich men hi ye nirnay le liya ki alavida kahane ka vakt aa gaya hai.
anil ko 'jumbo' ki upama unaki tej gati se feki jane vali Flipper ki vajah se hi nahin mili balki isamein unake jumbo size panvon ka bhi hath raha :). anil mere hamaumr to hain hi, sath hi vo hamari jat biradiri vale bhi hain. chaunk gaye ! are janab mere kahne ka matlab ye tha ki vo bhi ek yantriki yani Mech. Engg. (vo bhi Distinction Holder) hain. ab ye alag bat hai ki apne chust dimag ka prayog unhone cricket ke maidan men apni gendon ki length, gati aur flight ke badalav mein de dala aur tabhi to 132 test men 619 wicket jhatak dale.
jitane maichon men unhonne bharat ko apni gendabaji ke bal par jitaya hai vo unase jyada nami khiladiyo se kahin adhik hai. vaise to kitne hi mauke hain jo kumble ne tamam bharatiyon ke liye yadagar bana diye par aaj is mahan khiladi ki vidaee ke samay unamein se kuchh palon ko aapase fir bantana chahoonga jise yad kar man aaj bhi behad romanchit ho uthta hai.
Feb 1999 Feroz Shah Kotla, Delhi
pakistan ki team ko jitane ke liye antim pari men 400 se oopar ran banane hain. jeet asanbhav hai bas match bachane ki jugat hai. pahale spell mein anil bhi kuchh khas nahin kar pate hain. skor 101 tak ja pahunchata hai vo bhi bina koee wicket khoye. par anil ka doosara spell pakistani ballebajon ke liye pranaghatak sabit hota hai. afridi, saeed anwar , ijaj ahamad, salim malik, injamam jaise dhurandhar ballebaj kumbale ke shikar banate chale jate hain. halat ye hai ki saqualin mushtak ka jab nauvan wicket girta hai to shrinath koshish karate hain ki vo galati se aakhiri wicket na le jayen. Wasim akram ke aaut hote hi bharat ko milati hai ek jabaradast jeet aur kumble ko ek aisa vyaktigat mukam jise cricket itihas men sirf ek aur bar hi sampadit kiya gaya ho. to aaiye fir se mahasoos karen khushi ke un palon ko aur dekhen kumble ne kaise kiye the apane ye das shikar
May 2002, Antigua, West Indies
Bharat aur West indies ke bich antigua men chautha test match chal raha hai. West indies ke tej gendabaj Mervin Dillon ek bouncer fenkate hain. anil isase pahale ki gend ki line se apane aap ko hata payen gend unake gaal par ja lagati hai. shuru men to aisa lagata hai ki sirf bahari katav hai par jab raat men dard badata hai to pata lagata hai ki jabade men hi crack hai. par jujharupan aur jivatata ki misal dekhiye, chauthe din ke khel men sir par bandage bandhe ye khiladi maidan par utarata hai aur lara jaise mahan ballebaj ko out karne men safal ho jata hai.
August 2007, Queens Park, Oval
Oval men doosara test England aur bharat ke bich khela ja raha hai. rano ka ambar lag raha hai. dhoni ki aatishi pari ka anayas ant huaa hai aur maidan men kumble hain. lag raha hai bharat ki pari jaldi hi simat jayegi kyoonki doosare chhor par shri sant hain jinaka temprament jagajahir hai. par apni test jivan ki 151 vin pari men kumble poore foarm men hain. tendulakar ki tarah hi cover drive laga rahe hain. aur ye kya ab to vo apane pahale shatak ke pas bhi pahunch gaye hain.
hamare dil ki dhadakane baad gayee hain. nichale kram ke ballebaj ka shatak, oopari kram ke ballebaj ki tulana men hamare liye hajar guna jyada mahattv rakhta hai. shatak se ab ek shot ki doori hai par ye gend to balle ke nichale kinare se nikal kar wicket ki bagal se hoti huee simarekha ki or ja rahi hai . vahin kumble pahala ran poora kar doosare ke liye bhag rahe hain aur ab to gir bhi pade hain par shatak poora ho gaya hai. hamari aankhe khushi ke atirek se sajal ho uthin hain aur udhar dressing room men to jashn ka mahaul hai hi.
November 2008, Firozshah Kotla, Delhi
Kumble kaich lete vakt fir ghayal hain. bayen hath men fir 11 tanken pade hain fir bhi australiyaee team ko all out bhi karana hai. harabhajan nahin hai to maidan men unaki jaroorat hai. ishant sharma aur amit mishra jaise yuva khiladiyon se lekar lakshman tak aasan catch nahin le pa rahe. Kumble kshetrarakshan se khush nahin. Michel Johnson sidha Kumble ke sir ke oopar se gend ko uthate hain. par Kumble ne call kar diya hai ki pichhe daudate huye bhi ve hi catch lenge aur vo chotil hath se bhi catch pakad lete hain.
hamein nahin pata ki ye unaka antim shikar hai kyoonki unaki aankhon men viket lene ki bhookh ab bhi dikhati hai par 38 sal ki umr mein shayad sharir aur sath nahin de raha.
aaj ye dukh nahin balki khushi ka mauka hai ek mahan khiladi ki vidaee ka jisane apane vinamr svabhav aur khel ke prati atoot katibaddhata se is desh men hi nahin balki videshi khiladiyon ke bich ek samman ka sthan banaya. aasha hai antim test men bharatiy team Kumble ko series jitane ka tohafa jaroor degi.
aaj is desh ko anil jaise jivat khiladiyon ki jaroorat hai jinhen na keval apni kabiliyat par bharosa hai par apni pratibha ko tarashate rahane ke liye nirantar mehanat karane ki ichchha shakti bhi hai
Anil apni patni aur bachchon ke sath zindagi ki tamaam khushiyan batorein meri unke liye yahi shubhkaamnayein hain..
