However, coming to Tendulkar's aid, Kumble lashed out at his critics by saying that the batsman should be given his emotional space.
“There have been instances when he has been the sole reason for India's wins, but he has never been the sole reason for India's losses. It’s best to leave it to him to deal with what is in front of him now, because no one else has been in his position. No one else has played 192 Tests, made 34,000 runs, or scored 100 centuries. Let's not jump the gun, let's give the man the respect he deserves,” said Kumble.
“For 23 years, he has helped people dream. More's the reason why we need to give him his emotional space now,” added Kumble.
