India's 2002 Champions Trophy squad: Where are they now?

Harbhajan Singh is one of the best spinners to come out of India’s ranks and is one of the three cricketers along with Yuvraj Singh to continue to play international cricket.

He was one of the best performers with the ball in the tournament back in 2002 as he picked up 6 wickets in 5 matches including a 3 wicket haul against Sri Lanka in the first final.

He continued to play a big role in the Indian cricket for the years to come and was a part of the world cup winnings squads of 2007 and 2011.

He is still active on the international circuit as he fights to make a comeback to the national side. He is also a part of the Mumbai Indians franchise in the IPL.

Zaheer Khan is undoubtedly one of the best fast bowlers to have played for India. He played a huge role in India’s success in all the big tournaments in the 21^st century. He was the leading wicket-taker for India in the 2002 Champions Trophy, 2003 World Cup, and 2011 World Cup as well.

He continued to lead the pace attack for the Indian side right until his retirement from the game.

He was plagued with injuries towards the end of his career, which eventually led to him giving way to the likes of Mohammed Shami and Umesh Yadav. He announced his retirement from cricket in 2015 and is currently enjoying his life outside cricket. He captained the Delhi Daredevils in IPL 2017.

Anil Kumble is arguably the greatest ever spinner to have played for the Indian cricket team. With 619 wickets to his name, he sits third on the list of most wickets taken, just behind Shane Warne and Muttiah Muralitharan.

He picked up 4 wickets in 4 matches in the Champions Trophy back then and led the Indian bowling attack for the years to come. He was even the Test captain for a year between 2007 and 2008.

After his retirement from international cricket, he went on to play the IPL for a few years with the Royal Challengers Bangalore.

After his retirement from the IPL, he took up roles as the chief mentor of RCB and Mumbai Indians between 2012 and 2015. He is currently the head coach of the Indian cricket team.

Ajit Agarkar is one of the best ODI bowlers to have played for India and has achieved a lot of success for the Men in Blue in a career which spanned 9 years.

Unfortunately, he played only 2 matches in the entire tournament in 2002 and picked up two wickets. He was quite expensive with the ball as he conceded runs at an economy rate of over 6 runs per over.

He was an effective ODI bowler post the 2003 World Cup but was dropped from the side after India’s poor campaign in the 2007 World Cup. After his retirement, Agarkar played a lot of golf and even won a corporate tournament in 2016 in New Delhi. He was also seen as a cricket analyst during IPL 2017.
