Coca-Cola cup 1997/98 (Desert Storm): Where are they now?

#3 Nayan Mongia

Mongia retired in 2004 after featuring in 44 Tests and 140 ODIs for India

Mongia too did not have a great series, managing just 104 runs from 5 matches, at an average of a shade above 20. However, he was part of an 89-run partnership with Sachin in the final, which helped steady the Indian ship after they had lost Ganguly early.

Mongia was a part of the whole match-fixing scandal of the 2000s, however, he was eventually tried and found not guilty. Mongia retired in 2004 after featuring in 44 Tests and 140 ODIs for India.

He was appointed the coach of the Thailand national team and also their U-19 team with whom he had limited success. More recently, he has provided his expert opinion for various TV channels.

#4 Mohammad Azharuddin

Azharuddin was India's captain in the 90s

Azharuddin was India's skipper during the 1997/98 Coca-Cola Cup and while it was Sachin who led the side to victory with his willow, Azharuddin too played a fairly important role.

He led India in three World Cups and was one of their better skippers. However, he will forever be remembered for the match-fixing scandal involving Hansie Cronje, Herschelle Gibbs, Ajay Jadeja and several other Indian cricketers. He was convicted and banned for life, until an Andhra Court dropped the charges on him in 2012.

The former Indian skipper also dabbled in politics and joined the Congress party in 2009, subsequently going on to win the election in UP, and serving until 2014.

More recently, in 2016, a biopic 'Azhar' was released, loosely based on his life.
