Mohammad Azharuddin

One of the most sought after players in history, Mohammad Azharuddin is regarded as one of the most successful captains of the Indian Cricket Team. He represented India from 1984-2000 but the match-fixing saga associated with him put an end to his cricketing career. Hailing from Andhra Pradesh, Azharuddin began his political innings in 2009 by getting associated with the Indian National Congress (INC). He became a Member of Parliament after winning from Moradabad, UP in 2009. But his success was short lived as he was unable to win the next time in 2014. This time, in 2019, Azhar has disclosed his intention of contesting from Secunderabad Parliamentary Constituency.
