5 Indian cricketers you didn't know were part of World Cup squads

#2 Salil Ankola (1996)

One of the brightest talents to have been found in the late 1980s, Ankola made his debut with the iconic Sachin Tendulkar and was known for his raw pace and bounce.

Yet he could not create much impression. He went in and out of the Indian team as the team tried to find a genuine pacer who could be just like Javagal Srinath who had created waves.

He returned after four years in 1993 and went in and out of the squad. He was included again for the World Cup in 1996 but did not play a single game. His last ODI for India came in 1997 when he featured against South Africa on their home soil.

He also played one Test for India and now has turned into a television actor.
