From the article here by Kadamabari Murali
He had a clear vision for India. Almost a year ago, last November, in the team hotel here in Delhi, Kumble presented a three-page note to his mates, a stated vision that he believed could serve as guidelines for future generations of cricketers. It was something that had not been done before, not in this detailed format. But again, it was typical of Kumble, an organised man who believed in the importance of leaving a legacy.
The symbolism of Dhoni carrying Kumble on his shoulders at the Kotla today was not lost on anyone. For the team Dhoni will carry forward was a team that owes a lot of its "oneness" to Kumble, the captain. The one thing missing in Dhoni's team of course, will be Kumble, the tireless player, India's man for all seasons.
