The Captain's knot is finally let loose or it seems to be.Difficult to answer this one.Anil Kumble is made the captain of the Indian Team for the upcoming test series. Guys this comes after a lot of introspection from the BCCI 's side.They must have weighed all the pros and cons of their ongoing doubts about captaincy before taking such a decisions.

But giving such an honour (as they say) to this respectable cricketer at the age of 37, is difficult to digest.Its like awarding the prestigious lifetime achievement award to actors at the fag end of their life and career.Is it honouring the man or humiliating him?Its like suddenly remembering that there exists a man like Anil Kumble in Indian cricket and making him don the cap of captaincy before he retires.It is like a parting gift to this man.. Sad isn't it. The board surely knows how to play their cards well.The selectors are playing the 'devils advocate' on this one.

Anil Kumble-cool temperament, calm composure,quiet demeanour, respectable, unflapable,reliable,dependable....the adjectives can go on and on . I simply love this cricketer for all this.A man who has no contoversies dogging him.An ideal choice.His wealth of experience will work for the team.Anil Kumble belongs to the higher league of Indian cricketers like sachin tendulkar, rahul dravid, sourav ganguly.He is a very senior and experienced player.He has a magificient career graph.This 37 banglore leg spinner is the 3rd highest wicket taker in test series.He has served as indian vice captain to sachin tendulkar earlier.

India has tough test series ahead with Pakistan and Austrailia. Anil Kumble has played well against all teams. He knows the game well.He knows what to expect for every test which are going to be played.After Dravid and Sachin 's NO to captain India , he seems to be the right choice.He can be the best guide to Mahendra singh Dhoni. He can teach him the tricks of the trade especially in test matches to this young man.They both are so opposite of each other so to look.Dhoni and kumble complement each other in their temperament , age and experience.

It is heard that Anil Kumble will be made a series by series captain. He will only captain India on a series basis. A 3 test captain or skipper for 3 months.No Surety , No Direction.Just to access accountibility.Kiran More calls it 'a retrograde step' and Navjot singh sindhu calls it a move 'retrogressive'. Anshuman Gaikwad calls this arrangement a 'stop gap'.Manjrekar gives his 100% nod and supports the decision.He says they should have made Kumble the captain much much earlier.

These cricket contoversies are here to stay.
With all this what lies ahead of this man's Anil Kumble's new career?.As the saying goes 'uneasy lies the head that wears the crown'.All i can say is for my captain, my favourite cricketer -Stay the way you are. The crown fits you well.All The Best.
