Anil touches Kapil

Leg-spinner Anil Kumble was praised for his never-say-die attitude after equalling Kapil Dev’s Indian record 434 wickets in the second Test against South Africa on Thursday.
Kumble reached the milestone when he had last man Makhaya Ntini caught by Rahul Dravid at slip, finishing with three for 82 as South Africa were bowled out for222.
Kumble, who has played 90 'J ests, is joint fifth on the all-time Testwicket list Kapil Dev played 131 matches.
The bowler, who got a congratulatory call from Kapil, said he would now aim for500 wickets.
"A realistic target would be 500 wickets," he said. "Kapil called up
and said I should go for that."
Kumble said while Injury had been the hardest part of his career, particularly coming back from two surgeries, for a career-threatening shoulder injury in 2001 and then for a fractured jaw suffered while batting in West Indies in 2002, criticism of Ns style still bothered Nm.
"It hurts a lot that I still have to answer questions over why I don't turn the ball that much. After taking ,434 wickets, after 15 years, people still can’t accept me for what I am."
Captain Sourav Ganguly lauded Kumble's unwavering focus.
"His commitment has been the same ever since I've known him. That's a great quality to have," said Ganguly.
"I've played with him for the last 10 years and known him since our under-15 days. His grit and determination have never wavered in all these years."
Ganguly saidcomparisons with Shane Warne, regarded as the best leg spinner of this era, were obvious. Warne holds the world record with 552 Test wickets in 117 matches.
’’People naturally compare him with Shane Warne. Anil doesn't turn the ball as much but he's just shown what a will to succeed can do,” Ganguly said. "Getting the Indian record is an outstanding achievement.”
Harbhajan Singh, man-of-the-match for his seven for 87, said his spin partner was still young at heart
"He's 34 years old but he still seems like he's 20. He’s so competitive, I'm sure he'll get many more wickets for India."
Kumble made his debut against England in 1990but came into his own on a tour of South Africa two years later.
The highlight of his career was when he took all 10 Pakistani second-innings wickets in New Delhi in 1999 to equal the world record of England's Jim Laker.
"He's not your conventional leg spinner, but he's always putting pressure on you You have to take a chance against him,” South Africa's Jacques Kalils said.
"Whenever batsmen have to take chances against a bowler who is putting it in the right spot, wickets will fall."
India won the match by eight wickets to clinch the series 1-0.
