It’s not about me or Ravi, it’s about team: Anil Kumble

Graciously skirting the controversy surrounding the snub Ravi Shastri received during his job interview, the newly-appointed India coach Anil Kumble said it’s the players who are the most significant part of the system and no one else.

“I was the first one to call Ravi after I was chosen as head coach. He did a wonderful job with the team. It is not about Anil or Ravi, it is not about the head coach. It is about the players, it is about the team. And from my point of view, whether it is me or Ravi or any Indian, we all want the Indian team to do well,” Kumble said.

“We all believe that there is potential for the Indian team to be the best in all three formats. An-d If I’m part of the journey, that’s all I have to say. He congratulated me. I told it’s a fantastic team, a young team that we have. It could be someone else tomorrow. I have an opportunity to make a difference,” he added.
