4.Rahul Dravid
The 1998 Champions Trophy was the first major event of Rahul Dravid’s career. It proved to be a damp squib for the right-hander as he could manage just 68 runs in the 2 matches that he played in.
However, he would go on to become one of India’s most regular members in their squad for the event, featuring in as many six editions during the course of his career, the last appearance coming in 2009.
At present, Dravid is the coach of the India A and Under19 teams.
5.Ajay Jadeja
The right-hander, who was a key cog in the Indian middle-order during the 90’s excelled in the competition, scoring an important 71 in the quarterfinal, but not coming good in the semifinal.
That competition was one of the last sparks in Jadeja’s career, which got murky when the match-fixing scandal broke out the following year. Post that saga and after he had served his ban, he was roped in as an analyst and was seen on television during the Indian Premier League.
6.Robin Singh
The all-rounder in the squad, Robin Singh contributed little, both with bat and ball. The Trinidad-born cricketer, like Jadeja, played a key role in the 90’s, with his lusty hitting down the order and medium pace bowling with the ball. His fielding, however, was his biggest asset.
Robin played for India in the following Champions Trophy as well but retired a couple of years later. He served as the fielding coach of the Indian team for two years between 2007 and 2009 and is currently, part of the Mumbai Indians set up in the IPL.
