<strong><a href="https://www.crictracker.com/best-hear-sides-drawing-conclusions-kohli-kumble-rift-aakash-chopra/">Anil Kumble</a></strong> took over the reigns around this time last year and there was so much elation around the Indian fans to see such a stalwart of the game taking up one of the most coveted posts in world cricket. Kumble did work wonders for Indian cricket over the last one year, but due to some unfortunate reasons, he stepped down on Tuesday as the head coach.

During his time, one of the biggest changes that took place was the change in captaincy. MS Dhoni quit captaincy duties from the limited overs formats(ODIs and T20Is) and <strong><a href="https://www.crictracker.com/sunil-gavaskar-urges-virat-kohli-to-make-a-statement-and-make-things-clear/">Virat Kohli</a></strong> became India&#8217;s full-time captain. Apart from the apparent altercation between Kohli and Kumble, everything about the last one year under Jumbo was terrific.

His tenure also saw the rise of some youngsters, who&#8217;ve shown some great promise and will make a strong case for themselves to be a regular in the side. Not just youngsters, but some senior pros like Yuvraj Singh made a sensational comeback to the ODI side this January, all thanks to the trust shown by the captain and the coach.

<strong>Here is a list of five players, who benefited the most under Kumble&#8217;s tenure</strong>

<a href="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/2017/03/Kuldeep-Yadav-2.jpg"><img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-125352" src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/Kuldeep-Yadav-2.jpg" alt="Kuldeep Yadav" width="600" height="435" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px"></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-125352" class="wp-caption-text">Kuldeep Yadav.

One of the brightest prospects of Indian cricket and quite a rare outlet, Kuldeep Yadav is gearing up to baffle batsmen with his chinaman bowling. Kuldeep was roped into the playing XI in the final Test match against Australia, something no one really saw coming. The left arm spinner impressed one and all with a tremendous spell of bowling in the first innings.

His duel with Glenn Maxwell, where the latter spanked him for a boundary with no respite and got cleaned up the next ball for an absolute beauty was something no one will forget. Kumble and Kohli took an audacious call to bring in Kuldeep, but that proved to be a masterstroke in the series decider and India eventually won the game. Being a wrist spinner himself, Kumble helped Kuldeep nourish significantly over the last one year.

<a href="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/2016/12/Jayant-Yadav.jpg"><img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-97944" src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/Jayant-Yadav.jpg" alt="Jayant Yadav India" width="600" height="420" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px"></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-97944" class="wp-caption-text">Jayant Yadav. (Photo Source: BCCI)</figcaption>

The young off-spinner from Uttar Pradesh got a chance to make his debut against England at Vishakapatnam and right from his first game, he proved his worth. This was another surprising inclusion made by Kumble, which paid off big time in the matches to come.

Jayant Yadav added an unforgettable 241 run partnership with Virat Kohli and registered his first Test hundred, just in his 3rd Test for the country. Jayant is tall and deceptive with his pace variations and it&#8217;s under Kumble&#8217;s coaching period this lad has made such great progress. In the time to come, it won&#8217;t be surprising if we find him regularly in the playing XI as he has already won the trust of his skipper.

<a href="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/2016/10/Hardik-Pandya-2.jpg"><img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-89859" src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/Hardik-Pandya-2.jpg" alt="Hardik Pandya News" width="600" height="441" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px"></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-89859" class="wp-caption-text">Hardik Pandya. (Photo Source: BCCI)</figcaption>

Even the name of Hardik Pandya is giving chills in the spines of every Indian cricket fan&#8217;s body right now and this will continue for some time. His knock against Pakistan in the final was of the highest caliber and speaks volumes about his grit and determination.

Pandya&#8217;s meteoric rise in recent times, especially in ODIs should really be credited to Kumble. Pandya was given enough freedom to express himself with the bat and though he leaked runs at times with the ball, Kumble and Kohli placed their trust in him as he is the sort of all-rounder every team aspires for.

<a href="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/2015/03/Kedar-Jadhav.jpg"><img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-73158" src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/Kedar-Jadhav.jpg" alt="Kedar Jadhav" width="600" height="407" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px"></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-73158" class="wp-caption-text">India&#8217;s batsman Kedar Jadhav. (Photo by JEKESAI NJIKIZANA/AFP/Getty Images)</figcaption>

No one really saw the ability that Kedar Jadhav possessed for a long time. But after Kumble came into power, he started popping up in the XI regularly and he also made him an effective part time bowler. A scintillating match-winning century against England chasing a mammoth 350 run target was something unforgettable.

Kumble was certainly backing the Maharashtra batsman to go and express himself freely as the coach felt he can be a potential replacement for MS Dhoni in his finishing role. Jadhav had to wait a long time for his opportunity, but under Kohli, he is just going to flourish more.

<a href="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/2017/02/Umesh-Yadav-3.jpg"><img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-114835" src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/Umesh-Yadav-3.jpg" alt="Umesh Yadav" width="600" height="460" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px"></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-114835" class="wp-caption-text">Umesh Yadav. (Photo Source: BCCI)</figcaption>

Without a shadow of a doubt, one player who has benefited the most under Kumble&#8217;s tenure is Umesh Yadav. Umesh Yadav has been a hit and miss sort of a bowler for a long time, failing to find a proper rhythm and good channel to bowl. He always believed in his pace to pick up wickets and all he needed was some time to settle in, which was granted by Kumble.

Currently, he is the most lethal bowler in India at any stage of the game, in any format. In a short span of time, he became one of the most important players for India and he really owes a huge debt of gratitude to Kumble.

There was a special environment for the grooming of youngsters in the Indian team under Kumble

Five cricketers who have groomed under Anil Kumble

Anil Kumble took over the reigns around this time last year and there was so much elation around the Indian fans to see such a stalwart of the game
