5 successful Indian cricketers who were rarely seen in TV ads

#3 Javagal Srinath

Following the retirement of Kapil Dev, who is arguably India's greatest ever fast bowler, the burden of a thin fast bowling attack was shouldered by Javagal Srinath and he did it admirably throughout the course of his remarkable career.

He was among the top fast bowlers in the world and India's spearhead in both formats of the game for more than a decade. However, that did not seem to bring him the sort of TV advertising deals that one would have hoped for and except for one memorable ad for a glucose based drink, there were few ads featuring Srinath on TV.

That being said, it could also be a case of the former fast bowler not being that interested in being featured in TV ads incessantly and might have preferred a quiet life away from the field. After all, he did have his struggles with a persistent shoulder injury that even required a surgery and gave him a lot of trouble in the latter part of his career.
