Kumble's new googly!

Ace cricketer Anil Kumble brings the same poise and polish to his job as a lensman as he does on the pitch
He admits he is not technically best equipped to understand the nuances of photography; yet, he has some stunning offerings, as breathtaking as his dismissals of the opposition on the cricket field. Anil Kumble, a gentleman on and off the field, brings you a coffee table book titled Wide Angle – Candid Moments From My Playing Days.

Imagine Kumble, intense, in a combative mood, plotting the downfall of his victim with a top spinner, a flipper, a googly, or just plain, quick and straight delivery. The same man, holding his breath, waiting patiently to “capture” a leopard sliding down a tree.
