Anil Kumble was very aggressive on the field, soft-spoken off it: Pragyan Ojha
New Delhi, June 27: Former India spinner Pragyan Ojha has said that spin great Anil Kumble had contrasting personalities on and off the pitch. Ojha, who took 113 Test wickets in his brief five-year international career, said that Kumble was as aggressive on the field as he was calm off it.
"When he was on the ground, Kumble used to be very aggressive, both with the opponent and with his own players," Ojha told Wisden in an interview. "Off the field, you won't be able to relate. I was taken aback, ‘Am I talking to the same person who I saw on the ground?' He used to compete hard, but off the field, he was very soft-spoken."
