Anil Kumble's Cannes Red Carpet Moment with Wife

Former India cricket captain and coach Anil Kumble has been captivating his fans with glimpses of his recent experience at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival. Alongside his wife Chetana, Kumble graced the red carpet, documenting the glamorous affair on social media platforms. Sharing his excitement with his followers, he posted on Instagram, "Red carpet moment with @chetanakumble at @festivaldecannes opening night!" The couple radiated elegance and charm as they attended the star-studded event, leaving fans enthralled by their presence. Kumble delighted his followers by sharing several captivating photos from their time at Cannes, giving them an exclusive glimpse into the glamorous world of international film festivals.

While Kumble has been indulging in the glitz and glamour of Cannes, he hasn't shied away from expressing his thoughts on cricket matters. Recently, he voiced his opinion on the exclusion of Wriddhiman Saha, a veteran wicketkeeper-batter, from India's squad for the World Test Championship (WTC) final. Kumble felt that the selectors had missed a valuable opportunity by overlooking Saha's remarkable skills and contributions to the game.


Drawing attention to Saha's exceptional performances for the Gujarat Titans in the ongoing season of the Indian Premier League (IPL), Kumble emphasized his consistency and versatility both behind and in front of the stumps. The former spinner argued that Saha's contributions often go unnoticed by the selectors, despite him being one of India's best wicketkeepers. Kumble made his point clear during his commentary on Jio Cinema, stating, "Look at Wriddhiman Saha. He has been outstanding not just behind the stumps but also in front of it throughout this IPL. He has been very consistent. He often gets unnoticed but he is one of India's best wicketkeepers. I feel the selectors missed a trick for the WTC final. He should've been part of the squad.

India's squad for the WTC final was announced, and Kumble's observations were in reference to Saha's absence from the list. The selected team, led by Rohit Sharma, consists of talented players such as Shubman Gill, Cheteshwar Pujara, Virat Kohli, Ajinkya Rahane, Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Shardul Thakur, Mohammed Shami, Mohammed Siraj, Umesh Yadav, Jaydev Unadkat, Ishan Kishan, and KS Bharat. Kumble acknowledged the inclusion of KS Bharat, highlighting his commendable performances whenever he was given the opportunity.


As the cricketing world eagerly awaits the thrilling clash in the World Test Championship final, Kumble's assessment of the team selection adds another layer of intrigue and discussion to the much-anticipated event. With his immense experience and expertise in the game, Kumble's insights carry weight and capture the attention of both fans and pundits alike.


Amidst the glitzy backdrop of the Cannes Film Festival and the intense anticipation surrounding the WTC final, Anil Kumble remains a prominent figure whose influence extends beyond the boundaries of cricket. His presence at Cannes reflects the diverse interests and passions of cricketers, reminding fans that they too have lives filled with moments of joy and glamour outside the cricketing arena. With his charismatic personality and unwavering commitment to the game, Kumble continues to make headlines both on and off the field, leaving an indelible mark on the world of cricket.
