Brief International Careers of Indian Cricketers Gagan Khoda and Salil Ankola
Two Indian cricketers, Gagan Khoda and Salil Ankola, had brief but notable international careers despite strong domestic performances. Khoda, an opener with a 57.50 ODI average, played only two ODIs in 1998 before returning to domestic cricket, where he scored a triple century. Ankola, dubbed the 'Indian McGrath,' impressed with 29 wickets in India A matches but missed the 2003 World Cup final squad. He debuted in ODIs in 2003, earning praise for his bowling potential during a triangular tournament in Bangladesh.
