Generally, the tradition in cricket goes like when you have retired from cricket; you have 2-3 different paths to choose from. Out of them, commentating or coaching a team are the main ones most of the cricketers select. However, few out of the box thinkers completely changed their careers after retiring from cricket. Their post-retirement job had no relation to their pre-retirement life.

9.Salil Ankola
Salil Ankola is a former Indian fast bowler who had a golden debut into his cricketing career in 1989 as he stepped onto the field along with the legendary cricketer, Sachin Tendulkar.
However, the luck didn’t favor him as he just managed to play 20 ODIs and one single Test match for India. Hence he decided to move into the film industry and made his debut there in the year 2000. Here also, the table didn’t turn in favor of him as he only got the chance to feature in 7 films. Currently, he has been quite successful in the television industry.
