Kumble's time is up: Vengsarkar
Dilip Vengsarkar today has said that he doesn't forsee Anil Kumble captaining India after the on-going series against Australia.
The former chairman of selection commitee had lashed out at the veteran leg spinner earlier after he failed to get a single wicket in Bangalore and had to sit out of the attack for a considerable time.
Vengsarkar said though Kumble has rendered a yeoman service to the Indian cricket team his poor form suggested he should quit.
"Kumble has not been performing since the last six to seven Tests. He has been a great servant for the country for the last 18 years but he has not done anything of note in the last few matches, his time is up now," Vengsarkar told News 24 channel.
"Kumble looked completely off-color in the match and I don't see him captaining the side after the Nagpur Test," he added.
Vengsarkar felt that Kumble did not handle fellow leggie Amit Mishra properly in the third Test match.
"Mishra was bowling quite well and was getting good zip but still Jumbo underbowled him," Vengsarkar said.
