kumble

Mohali, Nov 28 (IANS) Anil Kumble, India’s head coach, was visibly surprised when broadcasters ran a bizarre poll, asking the audience to vote on who is a better bowling pair – Harbhajan-Kumble or Jadeja-Ashwin?

The poll results were in favor of Jadeja-Ashwin and Kumble, former India skipper, had an interesting reaction to it.

Here is the video:

Earlier, India were bowled out for 417 runs in their first innings, taking a lead of 134 against England at tea on the third day of the third cricket Test on Monday. All-rounder Ravindra Jadeja produced a career-best Test score of 90 to pull India to a sizeable lead. Jayant Yadav scored 55 at the Punjab Cricket Association I.S. Bindra stadium. Resuming the second session at 354/7, Jadeja and Jayant continued their good touch until the Saurashtra batsman was dismissed by leg-spinner Adil Rashid in the 124th over. His 170-ball knock was laced with 10 boundaries and one six.

The fall of Jadeja’s wicket brought in Umesh Yadav (12), who along with Jayant forged a crucial 33-run partnership for the ninth wicket before Jayant was sent back to the pavilion by pacer Ben Strokes (5/73). Umesh and Mohammad Shami (1*) managed to add only three runs to the total and India folded for 417.
