I have always carried a camera with me. From an aimand-
shoot on my first trip to Srinagar for the Under-17
camp, to sophisticated equipment when I finished my
career in 2008. I have captured moments on the field,
off it, inside the dressing room and also on my travels.
I always wanted to spend time and see places, capture
historic sights and monuments on cricketing tours. On
a day off, I would get away with couple of colleagues,
or sometimes alone. I believe this book will bring out
all those moments and hopefully give you some insight
into what happens in a cricketer’s life, outside of the
game itself. By bringing the candid moments from
my playing days together within the covers of a book
like this, I hope to share some of my experiences as a
player and reveal to some extent what it means to be
a cricketer in a country that is so passionate about the
sport.
About the Author
Anil Kumble is one of the greatest cricketers that India
has produced. He is the world’s 3rd highest wicket taker
in test matches, and one of the few bowlers who has
taken all 10 wickets in an innings of a test match. Towards
the later part of his career, Anil successfully lead
India to series wins against England and Australia, and
also scored his maiden century. Other than cricket, Anil
is very passionate about photography and has captured
priceless moments with his camera over the past 20
years. We get to see the best results of his work behind
the lens through this wonderful book, Wide Angle.
