Batting maestro Sachin Tendulkar, who was part of the BCCI's Cricket Advisory panel that selected Anil Kumble as head coach, has reckoned that the legendary leg-spinner will help the young Indian side to fight out during crunch situations.

Recalling his association with the Bengaluru leggie, Tendulkar termed him a "hard competitor" with tons of experience, which he feels the team can benefit from.

"It's about being a tough character and being able to stand on your feet in tough moments. That's what I feel Anil will teach them. There are crunch moments in any match, so approaching those moments is important.

He will be out there to win each and every moment," Tendulkar was quoted as saying by espncricinfo.

"My experience with Anil has been fantastic. He has been a match-winner, and the guys have got a lot to learn from him.

Anil is ready to share everything he has learnt from this wonderful sport." "He played for close to 20 years, so there is plenty to share.

I'll just tell the players to grasp as much information from Anil as possible, and enjoy the game above everything else," the little master added.
