Anil Kumble's Gesture Towards Fan On The Same Flight Shows What Humility Is All About

One of the all-time greats of cricket is Indian spin legend Anil Kumble. Kumble’s matches have a special place in the archives of our memories. The legendary leg-spinner, who remains the third highest wicket-taker of all time, just does not disappoint his fans.

A fellow flier and fan posted a tweet tagging him that said they were on the same flight and she’d love a picture with him.

OMG just spotted @anilkumble1074 We are in the same flight. Can I please get a selfie? Please...

To her good luck, her wish came true. Kumble not only responded to the tweet, but also obliged to the selfie request.

Sure. After take off!
