Three legends of the game.

What about Kumble he is the most under-rated bowler to ever play the game. Fourth on the all time wickets and will pass McGrath soon to be third, which will make the top three wicket takers all spinners. Its a good era for the spinners. (",)

Kumble - 547 wickets at 28.65, econ 2.63, 33 five wicket innings, bb 10/74
Warne - 708 wickets at 25.41, econ 2.65, 37 five wicket innings, bb 8/71
Muralitharan - 674 wickets at 21.73, econ 2.39, 57 five wicket innings, bb 9/51

Kumble is not an exciting bowler as Warne and Muralitharan but he is a quiet achiever he has different skills like subtle variation and is a pacier bowler that changes his pace he also has a very good wrong-un. The main thing that makes these bowlers so great is that there accuracy is amazing and the pressure they build is amazing. Three legends of the game.
