Jumbo, who on Monday decided to end his journey with the IPL franchise, expressed his disappointment on Twitter.



Kumble, who has been associated with the Indian Premier League franchise since January 2013, has decided to pursue other opportunities in sports and cricket.


His decision was reported to be a move followed by a BCCI crackdown on conflict of interest in the board.
