Old values???

I was surfing about the Test match between India and Australia. I am an avid reader of all cricket news, which takes most of my free time. When Kumble came to bowl, there were loud cheers in the ground. What makes people like Kumble so popular? Yes, He has undoubted talent, skill which makes him to be one among the top rated cricketers in the world. Yet, he doesn't have charming poster boy image like Rahul/Dhoni. He doesn't know how to intimidate opposition like Ganguly. He doesn't have any endorsement value like Sachin.

What makes him to be rated high among his contemporaries?
Why people are seeing him as a legend and hearing his words without any questions?


Traditionally, we have been taught that way to success in life is by means of dedication and hard work. This guys is a shining example for that.. He will do his work and don't expect much in return.. Though he is an eligible candidate for Captaincy, it came very late to him unlike his other counterparts.. Still, he has always done his job well for India..

Hats off to Kumble and other successful people who still believe in Old values like Dedication, Hard work!!!!

Even now, I am sure Kumble will be striving very hard to get the breakthrough wicket that India is looking for..
