Kumble was appointed the captain of the Indian Test cricket team on 8 November 2007. He led India to a 1-0 victory in the three-test home series against Pakistan. He is currently leading the Indian Test team on its tour to Australia for the 2007-08 four-test series of The Border-Gavaskar Trophy. He succeeds his state team mate Rahul Dravid, who resigned as the captain in September 2007. Since his debut in international cricket in April 25, 1990, he has taken over 600 Test wickets and 330 ODI wickets. Although often criticized as not a big turner of the ball, Kumble is the second highest wicket taker among leg spinners in Test cricket behind leg spinner Shane Warne of Australia and the third of all bowlers after Warne and off spinner Muttiah Muralitharan of Sri Lanka and has claimed over 600 Test wickets. He is one of only two bowlers in the history of cricket to have taken all 10 wickets in a test innings, the other being Jim Laker of England. Kumble is currently ranked the 5th best bowler in Tests by the International Cricket Council. He was awarded Padma Shri by Government of India in 2005.
