His Test batting average is acceptable for a lower order batsmen; however, his unconvincing running in ODIs, giving him a fairly ordinary average of around 10, has prevented him from becoming an all-rounder. An all-rounder is a Cricket player who excels at both batting and bowling. His fielding is considered adequate and he usually fields on the boundary or at gully.

He has taken 104 Australian scalps in 17 matches at an average of 27. 5.

Kumble is the third bowler after Muttiah Muralitharan and Shane Warne to take 600 Test wickets. Muttiah Muralitharan ( Tamil: முத்தையா முரளிதரன் born 17 April 1972 in Kandy, Sri Lanka) often referred to as Murali Shane Keith Warne (born 13 September 1969 is a former Australian international Cricketer who is widely regarded as one of the Paying tribute to Kumble on reaching this milestone, cricket analysts have provided some interesting insights to his bowling skills, specifically vis-a-vis Warne and Muralitharan. Sambit Bal, the editor of Cricinfo, writes: [12]

"That he [Kumble] has been an unusual spinner has been said many times before. Sambit Bal is an Indian journalist He spent 15 years in mainstream journalism working in some India's leading publishing house before joining Wisden in 2001 Cricinfo is the largest Cricket -related website and one of the largest websites in the world with more than 20 million users It has also been said, a trifle unfairly, that he is a unidimensional bowler. Palpably, he has lacked the turn of Warne and Murali, but his variety has been subtler, far more apparent to batsmen than to viewers. He has shown that not only turn and flight that can deceive the batsman but also the changes of length and pace. He has been a cultured practitioner of his unique craft and a master of nuances. "

Columnist and former cricketer Peter Roebuck interestingly argues that in a bowling method that relies more on precision rather than big turns, Kumble is closer to fast bowler Glenn McGrath rather than his fellow spinners Warne and Muralitharan: [13]

"Curiously, Kumble has little in common with his two great contemporaries, Shane Warne and Muttiah Muralitharan. Peter Michael Roebuck (born March 6, 1956, in Oxford, United Kingdom) is a former Cricket player and is now a newspaper columnist Glenn Donald McGrath AM (pronounced) (born 9 February 1970 in Dubbo New South Wales) nicknamed "Pigeon" is a former Australian cricket player They relied on excess, spinning the ball ferociously and able, by sleight of hand, to fool batsmen into playing at thin air. They created error by destroying hope. Kumble more closely resembles Glenn McGrath because he does not so much baffle batsmen as torture them with precisely-pitched deliveries. Like the Australian, he does not tear opponents apart, just works away methodically till the deed has been done. Apparently he is an engineer, but he belongs in the courts of law as an inquisitor. "

During the 4th test against Australia at the Adelaide Oval on 25 January 2008, Kumble was only 13 runs short of his 2nd test hundred by scoring 87 runs off 205 balls, with 9 fours in India's first innings of 526.
