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

9. Ajit Agarkar

Ajit Agarkar won the India Finals of BMR World Corporate Golf Challenge

The zippy fast bowler was a bit expensive in the final as he conceded 61 runs in just 8 overs but did his reputation of being the genuine wicket-taker no harm as he scalped two wickets including that of Mark Waugh.

The bowler will forever be remembered for his outstanding 6-wicket haul against Australia at Adelaide in 2002-03 series which won India the game. He also had the record for the fastest to 50 wickets in ODIs before Ajantha Mendis took him over.

More than an able all-rounder, Agarkar scored the fastest 50 for India in ODI’s, off just 21 balls against Zimbabwe. He also has a Test century at Lord’s against England in 2002.

After getting dropped from the national side in 2007, he continued playing domestic cricket for Mumbai and announced his retirement from all forms of cricket in 2013. Agarkar plays Corporate Golf now and he recently won the India Finals of BMR World Corporate Golf Challenge held in Bangalore.
