16 Cricketers who turned the Political way

11. Vinod Kambli (India):

Vinod Kambli is a man who once was considered even more talented than Sachin Tendulkar. And his little short Test career gave glimpses of that as well. In 17 Tests he amassed 1,084 runs at an average of 54.20 with 4 tons. But, his career was characterized by controversies than his performances. He joined the Lok Bharati Party and was appointed as vice-president of the party as well. In 2009, he contested Assembly elections from Vikhroli, Mumbai but lost.
