BCCI deletes Anil Kumble birthday tweet as fans slam board over Virat Kohli influence

BCCI received a backlash for their tweet, which they deleted later.

Mumbai: Indian cricket team fans slammed BCCI on Twitter following their birthday wishes to former India skipper and coach Anil Kumble on Tuesday.

Kumble, who is India’s leading wicket-taker in Test, also coached the Virat Kohli-led side, replacing the then Team Director Ravi Shastri. While Kumble enjoyed solid success as India coach, his term came to an end after a year following differences with skipper Kohli.

Shastri made a comeback to Indian team management as head coach of the side.

Kumble, who turned 47 today, received special wishes from the likes of Virender Sehwag, Sachin Tendulkar and Cheteshwar Pujara.

While BCCI too wished Kumble, they received a backlash for their tweet, which they deleted later.
