Anil Kumble's early reputation as a studious cricketer stemmed not merely from the fact that he donned spectacles when he broke into national consciousness. The champion leg-spinner adroitly met the twin challenges of securing an engineering degree and luring batters to their doom, using the learnings from his educational background to scale unprecedented heights on the field.
It was inevitable, given both his degree in Mechanical Engineering and his inherent ability to analyse cricket to its minutest detail, that Kumble would lean heavily on technology post-retirement. Thus was born Spektacom, whose products (the most prominent being a smart bat sticker) are designed to enhance performance analysis as well as fan experience.
