Don’t see any reason why we can’t win overseas, says Kumble

INDIA HEAD COACH Anil Kumble has heaped praise on his team for coming back from 0-1 to eventually win the four-match series against Australia 2-1. 

Kumble divulged that his side took one session at a time to pull off a brilliant performance in the final Test at Dharamsala. As reported by IndianExpress, the legendary leggie lauded Ajinkya Rahane’s captaincy and added,

“We spoke about it that we will take one series at a time, one match at a time, one session at a time. To come back from 1-0 down, when you could see there were tired bodies around, it was brilliant. Rahane led the team brilliantly after losing the toss.” 

Kumble expressed his delight over the performance of the bowling attack in the home season. He pointed out that players adapting to different conditions has been the biggest positive of the season. The 46-year-old further added, 

“The fast bowlers throughout the season have bowled brilliantly. The positives have been adapting to conditions. We have had almost 25 players starting from West Indies. All 25 have stood up in different conditions. Even the new home venues, we didn’t know how those pitches would behave. Everybody put his hand up. The one area we need to improve is catching. Jaddu was brilliant through the season. He has always been in the shadows, but he has now come out of it. With this kind of line-up, with the lower-order contributions, I don’t see any reason why we can’t win abroad.”
