Former Indian cricket captain Anil Kumble will deliver the second annual Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi Memorial Lecture on November 13 here.
Kumble, India's highest wicket-taker in Tests and ODIs, is only the second bowler to take all 10 wickets in a Test innings. He led India in 14 Tests.
"Throughout his international career, which spanned 18 years from 1990 to 2008, he excelled in pressure situations. He is presently the Chairman of the BCCI's Technical Committee, and the ICC Cricket Committee, besides being the President of the Karnataka State Cricket Association," BCCI Secretary Sanjay Patel said in a statement.
"The sterling qualities that Kumble has epitomised, as cricketer, leader and administrator, make him the perfect candidate to deliver the lecture, which was instituted by the BCCI in honour of an individual who battled many a crisis successfully, and instilled self-respect and a fighting spirit in the Indian cricket team of his time," he added.
Kumble said he feels honoured to have been picked to deliver the lecture, instituted in memory of the legend, who passed away in 2011.
"It will be a great honour to deliver the second MAK Pataudi Memorial Lecture. Tiger Pataudi was one of those who shaped the history of Indian cricket, by leading from the front. We will always be indebted to him for his impact on Indian cricket, as a player and leader," Kumble said.
