Truly a character in the Cricketing History to learn from. He showed his class and true spirit in calling off on his own giving the sign that the player himself is the best judge to decide when to call it off. The greatness does not ends with great performances but the true legends comes out on every occassion whne the expections peak themselves or when the expections start dying. Cricket360 salutes the Legend of this true fighter. Well done Jumbo, now guiding the boys will be expected out of you!
