In an episode of the Very Very Special stories, Laxman termed the legendary leggie as the ‘the biggest match-winner’ he played with.

In the episode, he also remembered the first match he played against Kumble during his younger days.

Adding to it, Kumble replied,

Both Laxman and Kumble were match-winners for India in their own right. Laxman played 134 Tests for India and is most remembered for the match-turning 281 against the near-invincible Aussies at Eden Gardens in 2001. On the other hand, Kumble finished as India’s leading Test wicket-taker, with 619 wickets in 132 Tests. He remains only the second player in history to have claimed all ten wickets in an innings in a Test match.
