2 cricketers become ministers
Orissa POST
|November 01, 2025
Mohammad Azharuddin, who was included in the Telangana cabinet Friday, became the second former top cricketer to be made minister in a Congress government, the first being Navjot Singh Sidhu.
Congress is not the only party where cricketers flourished in politics. Parties like BJP and Trinamool Congress made cricketers MPs and even ministers. Congress leader and former cricketer Mohammad Azharuddin was sworn in as a minister in CM A Revanth Reddy’s cabinet.
Azharuddin began his political journey with Congress and became Lok Sabha member from Moradabad, Uttar Pradesh in 2009. However, he lost the 2014 Lok Sabha election in the Tonk-Sawai Madhopur constituency in Rajasthan.
Azharuddin was, in November 2023, appointed working president of the party in Telangana days ahead of assembly elections in the southern state.
