Early Promise and Career Challenges of Indian Cricketers Salil Ankola and Reetinder Singh Sodhi
Two Indian cricketers, Salil Ankola and Reetinder Singh Sodhi, showed early promise but had careers curtailed by health issues. Ankola debuted in 1989, impressing domestically before a bone tumour ended his career at 28, followed by struggles with depression. Sodhi captained India to youth titles, including the Under-15 Challenge Cup and Under-19 World Cup, but a back injury hindered his senior international prospects. Both players' early achievements contrasted with their later challenges in sustaining long-term cricket careers.
