However, under Anil’s wing, India did manage to earn a few laurels, with a number of Test series wins and 8 ODI wins.

Apart from Kumble, Ishant Sharma also received a sum of 1 crores, the Women’s team who finished runners up in the ICC Women’s World Cup received a sum of 45 lakhs each. Additionally, former cricketers like Vivek Razdan, Sarandeep Singh, Salil Ankola, Reetinder Sodhi, Yograj Singh and Robin Singh, received a sum of 35 lakhs each. Kumble’s successor Ravi Shastri had to contend with the likes of Virender Sehwag and Tom Moody for the position of head coach.
