World Cup History: India's 1996 World Cup semi-final XI - Where are they now?

#4 Ajay Jadeja, Nayan Mongia, and Aashish Kapoor:

Ajay Jadeja

Ajay Jadeja was a player who was known for his exceptional fielding as well as for his finisher role in the team. Having represented the team in three World Cups, he accumulated over 500 runs in 18 innings. The most remembered innings of his would be against Pakistan in 1996 World Cup when he scored a quickfire 45 off just 25 balls that took India to a winnable total. Despite his popularity, the fixing scandal stuck a huge blow to his cricketing career. Since then, he has acted in several movies and has hosted several shows on TV. He is also seen as a cricket analyst and a commentator nowadays.

Nayan Mongia was seen as the go-to keeper whenever Kiran More got injured. He waited for a couple of years to cement his spot in the side. In his ODI career, he has taken 110 catches and was responsible for 45 stumpings. He was excellent behind the stumps and occasionally played a cameo role for the team. After retiring, he coached Thailand and Malaysian cricket teams. He was also seen as a wicket-keeping coach in a domestic tournament for Vizag Victors.

Aashish Kapoor was a right arm off-break bowler who played only in two World Cup matches. He failed to make the most of his opportunities as he was dropped from the national side. After that, he played for different teams at the domestic level but didn’t succeed.
