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

11. Rahul Sanghvi

Rahul Sanghvi is the team manager of the Mumbai Indians

The left-arm spinner, who kept the run hungry Australian batsmen at bay in the final, played only 1 Test and 10 ODIs for India. In those 10 ODIs, he did reasonably well too as he picked up 10 wickets at a decent economy of 4.80.

An orthodox spinner of the ball, Sanghvi has come up through the ranks having toured England in 1994 with the Indian Under-19 side. He had all the attributes of a proper spinner in his armoury and was quite handy with his art on batting-friendly tracks as well.

In 1997–98, he took 8–15 for Delhi against Himachal Pradesh in a Ranji Trophy One Day match to register the best bowling performance in List A cricket. Sanghvi recently made the headlines for all the wrong reasons when his name was dragged into a conflict of interest case.

He is also the team manager of the Mumbai Indians and a senior selector of Delhi and it was his post as the selector which came under severe scrutiny.

Down the memory lane, revisited!
