India's squad that beat Pakistan in Bangalore in the 1996 World Cup: Where are they now?

India won the match by 39 runs

#9 Javagal Srinath

Srinath is now a match referee

Srinath was expensive and leaked 61 runs in his 9 overs for a solitary wicket. But it was the crucial wicket of Saeed Anwar who was looking like he would take the game away from the Men in Blue. Srinath also struck some lusty blows in the last over of the Indian innings to add some crucial runs to the total.

In his prime, he was considered one of the fastest bowlers going around and was said to have clocked 157 kmph in a match against Zimbabwe. He was India’s frontline pacer for most of his career, and is the only India pacer to reach 300 wicket milestone in ODIs.

Following his retirement, the pacer from Karnataka had successful commentary stints. He also contested with Kumble in the KSCA elections in 2010, and was elected secretary of KSCA. He is now an ICC match referee.
