KUMBLE ELECTRIFIES NILGIRIS

BY P S SUNDAR

The 958 students of Crescent Castle Public School where the Nilgiris outfit of the Bangalore-based sports coaching organisation TENVIC (standing for ‘To Ensure Victory’) functions, received motivation form none other than former captain of Indian cricket team Anil Kumble.

“Besides motivating all our students to take sports seriously, he bowled and batted on the field throwing many useful tips to our cricket players.  This was part of our practice to invite sports icons to interact with our students for a better contribution to national sports from Nilgiris”, school correspondent Umar Farouk told me. 

Kumble honoured TENVIC-trained Mithun Raja who fetched laurels to Crescent school scoring over a century in the on-going inter-school cricket tourney conducted by Nilgiris District Cricket Association.  

He also installed the office-bearers of the student council for the next academic year.
