राजधानी दिल्ली इतिहासाच्या अनेक घटनांची साक्षीदार असली तरी फिरोजशहा कोटला स्टेडियम दोन घटनांसाठी क्रिकेटप्रेमींच्या कायम लक्षात राहील... एक : ४ फेब्रुवारी १९९९ रोजी अनिल कुंबळेने पारंपारिक प्रतिस्पधीर् पाकिस्तानचे एकाच डावात घेतलेले दहा बळी आणि दोन : २ नोव्हेंबर २००८ रोजी ६१९ कसोटी बळींचा माइलस्टोन गाठून अनिल कुंबळेची निवृत्तीची घोषणा. दिल्ली कसोटीत राम उरला नसताना ड्रेसिंग रूममधून दुपारी अचानक कुंबळे रिटायर्ड, अशी बातमी आली आणि सारं स्टेडियम सुन्न झालं... सामना ड्रॉ झाल्यानंतर टीम इंंडियाने आपल्या कॅप्टनला खांद्यावर बसून स्टेडियमभर फिरवले. क्रिकेटप्रेमींना अभिवादन करणारा जम्बो दिसला आणि गेली अठरा वर्ष घोंघावणारे एक वादळ शांत होत असल्याची साक्ष पटली...

Jumbo puts his hat down after sending the batsman's to pavillion more than 600 times. My best memories of him are 1. His 10 wicket record in single inning against pakistan
2. His 10 + overs spell against west indies with the broken jaw
3. His pat on ishant sharma's back after they lost the infamous test against aussies this year.
For me he was the most matured cricker of the indian squad in last 30 years.
