Former India player Gautam Gambhir recently shared that former India spinner as well as former India coach Anil Kumble would have picked more than 900 Test wickets if the Decision Review System (DRS) was available in his cricketing career. He also praised his former teammate and tweaker Harbjahan Singh a lot and also cited that his tally would also have been more than what he has now in the presence of DRS.

Anil Kumble has ended his cricketing career as the third-highest wicket-taker in the world with 619 wickets in 132 Tests. As far as Harbjahan Singh is concerned, he had claimed 417 wickets in 103 Tests. However, the two bowlers still placed at the first and third spots respectively in the list of top wicket-takers for India in the longest format of the game as well.

"With DRS technology Kumble would have ended up with 900 wickets and Harbhajan with 700 wickets," Gambhir shared during an Instagram live session with Sports Tak as per India Today.

He further added, "They missed LBW (leg before wicket) decisions on front-foot. Bhajju pa took seven wickets in Cape Town, just imagine. If they would have played on rank-turners opposition would not have been able to make even 100 runs."

Gautam Gambhir also praised a lot of Anil Kumble's leadership qualities and added that he would have given his life for a captain like him. He again revealed that Kumble had made him feel secure of his place in the India team and that helped him in his performances on the field.

"(Virender) Sehwag and I were having dinner when Kumble walked in and said that you guys will open throughout the series no matter what," Gambhir said. "Even if you get eight ducks (four-match series) it doesn't matter. I have never heard such words from anyone in my career. So, if I have to give my life for someone, it would be Anil Kumble. Those words are still in my heart."
