Anil Kumble IPL GOAT Player: Only two days are left for IPL 2023 to start. After four years, all the teams will play the 16th season of IPL at their home ground. The world's favorite tournament league has seen many star players in the last 15 years. In such a situation, Kumble has made a sensational disclosure. He believes that there is neither Virat Kohli nor Mahendra Singh Dhoni as the All-Time Greatest (GOAT) player in IPL. Kumble has chosen the former Punjab Kings veteran for this.
Many Indian star players are making a splash in the IPL. These include the names Rohit Sharma, MS Dhoni, Virat Kohli, Suresh Raina, Hardik Pandya, and Jaspreet Bumrah. On the other hand, if we talk about foreign players, players like Andre Russell, Sunil Narine, David Warner, Lasith Malinga, Drevon Bravo, Shane Watson, AB de Villiers, and Kieron Pollard have been dominating in it.
Chris Gayle changed the game of Powerplay
In an event on Jivo Cinema, former India spin legend Anil Kumble said that it is very difficult to choose one player for the Greatest of All Time (G.O.A.T) in IPL. He was asked that among the two most successful IPL captains, Rohit-Dhoni and IPL's leading run-scorer Virat Kohli, who would be on his list of greatest?
Started IPL career in 2009
Responding to this question, former Punjab Kings coach Kumble said, "There are so many of them; it's difficult to choose just one. I can look back and maybe Chris Gayle has been the greatest player for me, the way he batted, he completely changed the game of powerplay. He instilled the thought of attacking batting."
Let us tell you that Chris Gayle started his IPL career in 2009 with Kolkata Knight Riders. He played for RCB from 2011-2017. In 2018 he moved to Punjab Kings and played IPL till 2021. The left-handed batsman has scored 4965 runs in IPL.
