1998 Sharjah Coca-Cola Cup final- India XI: Where are they now?

10. Venkatesh Prasad

Prasad also worked as the bowling coach of India

With impressive figures of 2 for 32 in 10 overs, the lanky pacer was the most impressive amongst the bowlers in the final. He also finished as the second highest wicket-taker of the tournament behind Damien Fleming with 9 scalps.

Prasad was someone who was adept at moving the ball both ways and creating troubles for the batsmen in helpful conditions. Struggling with poor form, Prasad was dropped from the national squad in 2001 and with not being able to stage a comeback, he decided to call it quits in 2005.

Following retirement, he took to coaching and was appointed India's bowling coach for the tour of Bangladesh in May 2007. Prasad worked well with India's promising new-ball pair, Zaheer Khan, and Ishant Sharma and was also involved in tremendous feats which he failed to achieve as a cricketer.

Later he became the coach of the Uttar Pradesh cricket team and also had his coaching stints in the IPL with a few teams. Prasad also dabbled in cricket administration as he became the Vice President of the Karnataka Cricket Association in 2010.

According to reports, he could become the bowling coach of the Bangladesh national team after Heath Streak recently tendered his resignation.
