R Ashwin has confidence in Anil Kumble

St Kitts: India off-spinner R Ashwin feels head coach Anil Kumble is someone who understands bowling psyche and can provide the right impetus to the bowlers during match situations.

“Understanding a bowler’s psyche is a challenge and it is difficult for a batter to understand that. Someone like him he understands how the situation is and conditions are, he might give you the right impetus that you need,” Ashwin told bcci.tv. “For example, if you are going well but wickets haven’t fallen, he might be that one hand around your shoulder saying this is exactly what we want you to keep doing.”

The 29-year-old from Tamil Nadu, who has grown up watching Kumble said he was happy to find the iconic cricketer just as he had imagined over the years. “There is a saying that whenever you come too close to a celebrity, you get disappointed but with respect to Anil bhai whatever I have measured of him from a distance have come true,” he said.
