Amit Mishra has shown his mettle by taking 5 wickets in his Debut match . But what was noticeable about his bowling was that he did get spin both ways, ie his mormal leg spin and his doosra.
Though Kumble never relied on spin , even with piyush chawla his normal leg spin delivery never turned much.
My vote goes for Amit Mishra who has both talent and experience in his side.

To start with congrats to Amit Mishra for getting five wickets in his debut test match. It is a rare feet to achieve. Coming to the point as who is going to replace Anil Kumble, the fact is Anil Kumble is legend and legends can never be replaced. But still they are good players and are trying their level best to fill the gap that will be created once Kumble retires from international cricket.
My choice will be Amit Mishra.

I think its too early to replace kumble coz he is the fighter in indian cricket you can not forget his performances in his last appearances and he is not in good form but he is champion bowler and soon he will get his form back and play brilliantly for India.And about Mishra and Chawla both are good but its too early to compare them with kumble they have to learn more and play more in India and in foreign countries to match the kumble's glory.

I think it is too early to consider either as replacements for Kumble. Kumble has been India's biggest match winner in terms of winning matches with his bowling. Amit has turned in one good performance and I have seen too many bowlers impress to disappoint on the long run. Also Piyush has shown a lot of potential, but he still has a long way to go before he can even make a mark at the international level.
At the current moment, I like the confidence with which Mishra bowls especially his ability to throw up the ball.
Cheers!
