It is legend’s 50th birthday today. While wishing him on this occasion, here we bring you two times when Anil Kumble won the hearts of his fellow co-passengers on a flight. 

To start with the first incident, a fellow co-passenger and the fan tweeted about sharing the same flight with Kumble.

The girl tweeted, “OMG just spotted @anilkumble1074. We are in the same flight. Can I please get a selfie? Please… “

After take off!” Kumble completed his promise as later the fangirl tweeted a pic with Anil Kumble while thanking the legend.

Well, it wasn’t a one-time wonder. Kumble had done it in the past as well. It happened during a Jet Airways flight from Bengaluru to Mumbai where. The fangirl tweeted to have witnessed Kumble on the same flight while referencing Kumble’s broken-jaw performance against West Indies. In the appending tweet, she mentioned that she wants to meet Kumble but is nervous. 

The legend Kumble is, he noticed the tweet and replied in the humblest way ever. Kumble urged the fangirl to come and meet him after the takeoff. The tweet from Kumble read, “Please feel free to come over and say hi after take off @Mittermaniac.”

The legendary @anilkumble1074 in my BLR-MUM flight. Glanced at him once and was reminded of that game in West Indies where he bowled with a bandaged jaw. Teared up a bit. Gawwddd, I'm such a sucker for cricket memories. 😭

The fangirl while expressing her joy posted the signed boarding pass on Twitter. The series of events also brought in a lot of accolades for Kumble.
