5 successful Indian cricketers who were rarely seen in TV ads

#1 Anil Kumble

He is quite simply the greatest bowler to have ever played for India and throughout the 90s and a major portion of the noughties, Anil Kumble remained the primary wicket-taking threat for the team.

He went on to become the captain of the Test team as well towards the end of his career and for the duration of his career, he was one of the team's biggest stars.

However, unlike his contemporaries like say Sachin Tendulkar or Sourav Ganguly among others, Kumble was hardly ever seen on TV advertisements. It probably remains one of the big enigmas of how exactly advertising in India works, particularly in case of cricketers.
