Growing up watching players like B. S.
Growing up watching players like B. S. Chandrasekhar and a contemporary of Muttiah Muralitharan and Shane Warne, Karnataka leg-spinner Anil Kumble has etched his name indelibly in the world of cricket. Though not charismatic or lethal as the other three, Kumble nevertheless emerged as one of the most successful Indian spinners ever. Having started playing for Karnataka at the age of 19, Kumble made his Test debut against England in 1990, and during a long and eventful career, played more than 130 Test matches and crafted many victories for India. He became an integral part of the Indian ODI team in the early 90s and came up with some of the best performances during this time; which included his six for 12 against the West Indies.
The year 1996 proved very successful for him as he was selected for the World Cup. The shiniest feather in his cap was added in 1999 when he was playing a Test match against Pakistan and dismissed all 10 batsmen in a single innings, thereby becoming only the second player to achieve this feat, after Jim Laker of England.
Times have changed now and the magical Jumbo has been selected as the next coach of the Indian Cricket Team for a year. This development has triggered a wave of optimism across multitudes of cricket lovers worldwide. But will Jumbo be able to weave his magic as Team India’s coach With Kumble at the helm, will we able to witness a tremendous resurgence of the Men in Blue Ganesha takes the astrological route to find out the likely performance of Kumble as the coach.
Kumble and the Planets: Spin magician Kumble is born with Scorpio Ascendant, with the placement of Venus — the planet of charm and grace in the ascendant. Moreover, the Lord of the House of fortune and destiny — the Moon, is placed in the 7th House, that too, in its Sign of exaltation. Ganesha gives great importance to this placement in Kumble’s chart as it makes him a man with a pleasing personality and unique charisma.
Many people commend Kumble for his ability to win matches and the incredible knack to create winning situations out of positions of certain defeat. This phenomenal aspect of Kumble’s gaming can be attributed to the placement of the Sun, Mars and exalted Mercury in the 11th House of his Chart. Due to this formidable combination in the 10th House, Kumble always enjoyed a great stature as a sportsperson and excelled even in his capacity as the captain of the team. The very same combination gives him great calibre as an engineer and has blessed him with great success in his professional life, off the field.
Will the Kumble Magic work for Men in Blue
Ganesha notes that Kumble will be the man India will cherish a few months down the line. Why’s is that, you may ask! But, the agents of God – the 9 Planets have the answer! Post 11th August, Jupiter, the planet of fortune, expansion and optimism will begin its transit in the Sign of Virgo, wherein the powerful triumvirate of Mars, Sun and Mercury are present. This transit will set the stage for a spectacular show of motivational leadership by Jumbo. Being true to his inherent nature, Kumble may opt for a structural revival of the team. Instead of a tilted approach, Kumble is most likely to nurture a culture of opportunity for pure talent. The period from 24 October to 23 February, 2017, will be a very eventful period for Kumble and we can expect some wonderful feats from him in this duration.
But, some of his decisions may raise eyebrows, as Rahu and Ketu are transiting through the 10th House — 4th House axis. Due to this transit, there may also be some misunderstandings with the management and the board members, feels Ganesha.
By April 2017, India may go on to become a very prominent team in World Cricket once again and the rankings of various players may rise drastically, under the leadership of Kumble, concludes Ganesha on a vehemently positive tone.
