Cricket - Natwest Series - India v Sri Lanka

Anil Kumble did not make an impact in the final of the Natwest Series but he had an extremely successful career with the Indian cricket team. He ended up as the highest wicket taker and the third-highest wicket-taker of all time.

After his retirement, he took up mentoring roles with the Royal Challengers Bangalore and Mumbai Indians. After that, he was appointed the head coach of the Indian cricket team in June 2016 but his tenure did not last long despite great results.

Zaheer Khan

India celebrate Trescothick wicket

Zaheer Khan was the pick of the bowlers against England as he picked up three wickets. However, he was quite expensive as he gave away 62 runs.

He went on to spearhead the Indian bowling attack for years to come. He was their best bowler in the ICC World Cup in 2011 which they won.

After his retirement, he continued playing IPL until 2017. In 2014, he started a fitness and sports company ProSport Fitness and Services in Mumbai

Ashish Nehra

Ashish Nehra of India

Ashish Nehra was extremely expensive in the final as he conceded 66 runs in his 10 overs and picked up just one wicket.

He formed a solid partnership with Zaheer Khan for many years and led the Indian pace attack. He was faced with a lot of injuries throughout his career which is why he was in and out of the side. He continued playing T20Is until 2017.

After his retirement, he took up the role of the bowling coach of the Royal Challengers Bangalore for IPL 2018.
