Former Indian cricket captain Anil Kumble is arguably the best spinner that India has produced. His record in Test cricket is staggering as he is the only Indian bowler to have bagged more than 600 wickets. In 1999, Anil Kumble grabbed all 10 wickets in an innings against Pakistan, joining Jim Laker as the only players to accomplish the feat.

Besides bamboozling batsmen through his spin-bowling, Anil Kumble is also an avid photographer. His Instagram feed is full of stunning wildlife pictures which shows how good the Kumble photography skills are.  Anil Kumble has also published a book named 'Wide Angle' which showcases his mastery with the camera and more Kumble photography information is given. The book that was released by Shane Warne in 2010 has pictures that shows the other side of the veteran spinner.

In fact, during his coaching stint with the Indian team, Anil Kumble was spotted clicking pictures with his camera on several occasions. And it looks like a young Mayas, who is also known as the Anil Kumble son, has followed his father's footsteps. Mayas is also passionate about photography just like his father and seems to want to add to the Kumble photography stream.
