Sanjay Manjrekar played for India between 1987 and 1996 as a middle-order batsman who scored 2000 runs in Tests and ODIs respectively. He was also part of the squad in 1992 and 1996 World Cup. In the 1996 World Cup, he played in 5 matches scoring a fifty against Australia in a high voltage game. After retiring, he has been a part of the commentator panel for almost two decades.

Mohammad Azharuddin played for the country in four World Cups. In 25 world cup innings, he scored 826 runs with eight fifties. He also captained the squad in 1996 that reached the semi-finals. Even though he was out of form, his captaincy was on point. His career came to an abrupt end when he was alleged to be involved in a match-fixing scandal. It took almost 12 years for him to come clean. He is currently a politician from Indian National Congress.
