Background and personal life
Born in 1968 into a south Indian Konkani-speaking family which hails from the town of Ankola in Uttara Kannada district of Karnataka. Ankola was born into a Karnataka konkani family in 1968.
In 2008, it was reported that Ankola has been suffering from depression and was enrolled in a rehabilitation centre in Pune. The reason behind the illness was believed to be his severe addiction to alcohol. As a result of this his wife decided to settle with her parent in Pune with their children, leaving Ankola isolated.
After his recovery in January 2010, Ankola sent a legal notice to his wife demanding mutual consent for separation. His wife responded that, "there was [no] problem or a marital breakdown ... wanted to work on a reconciliation, not divorce." Ankola, when asked about reconciliation, said he was not willing to do so. The couple finally got divorced in 2011. On 22 December 2013, Parineeta's body was found hanging from the ceiling fan of her room at her residence in Geeta Society, Salisbury Park, in Pune.
Cricketing career
Salil Ankola, a member of a south Indian Konkani-speaking family who hails from Ankola, Uttara Kannada district of Karnataka, made his first-class debut for Maharashtra in 1988-89. He was out for 43 runs and took a six-wicket haul (six wickets in an innings) that included a hat-trick while playing against Gujarat. In an innings against Baroda, he returned with another six-wicket haul; six wickets for 51 runs. He took 27 wickets at an annual rate of 20.18, as well as three five wicket hauls. Ankola caught the eye of the selectors as he was selected for the India's tour of Pakistan in 1989-1990, owing to his consistent performances throughout the season. He took six wickets for 77 runs in the first innings and two more wickets in the second innings, raising his tally to eight wickets.
Ankola made his Test debut at Karachi's first test of the tour, alongside Sachin Tendulkar and Waqar Younis, who would go on to become good cricketers later in their careers. Ankola took two wickets for 128 runs in a match that was drawn. Injuries followed him and barred him from participating in the remaining Tests of the series.
Ankola was called for the ODI series right after the Test series was completed. In the second game of the three-match series, he made his ODI debut; the first ODI was called off due to bad lighting. Ankola lost by 26 runs after losing two wickets. He came at number ten in the second innings at a time when India needed 15 runs over to get them to a place. Ankola scored six of the first six balls when he faced Imran Khan, but the losing team was eventually defeated. He bowled just overs (15 balls) in the next match before the game was called off due to crowd disturbance. Despite being selected in the Test squads for domestic and overseas tours, he never got the opportunity to compete for the team. Being kicked from the team without playing a single cricket match was considered "Ankolad" in cricket circles. However, Ankola continued to play ODI cricket. He and other bowlers, including Abey Kuruvilla, Paras Mhambrey, Nilesh Kulkarni, and Sairaj Bahutule, were all taught under Frank Tyson in the early 1990s. Ankola concentrated on improving his style rather than speed.
Ankola and Parineeta married Parineeta during this time; the couple has two children: a daughter and a boy.
Ankola was selected for the Charms Cup against England and Zimbabwe at home after a period of three years. He took three wickets for 33 runs in a match against South Africa (1993), his best bowling figures in ODI cricket.
Ankola was selected in the Indian team for the World Cup in 1996. He appeared in just one match against Sri Lanka in the tournament. He conceded 28 runs off five overs in a match that India lost without claiming any wicket. The selectors with immediate effect dropped Ankola, Vinod Kambli, and all-rounder Manoj Prabhakar shortly after the World Cup—all three players were part of the team's selection process—for the Singer Cup and Pepsi Sharjah Cup. Prashant Vaidya, a medium-fast bowler, had Ankola replaced Ankola. However, Ankola was later selected for the Indian team that toured South Africa in 1996—97. Despite being a member of the squad, he was never given the opportunity to represent the playing XI in any of the Test matches. He was selected for the Standard Bank International ODI tournament after the Test series; he played five games in the tournament against South Africa and Zimbabwe. In the finals against South Africa, India lost, Ankola, who conceded 50 runs in seven overs in what became his last match; there was a catch being removed from a no-ball and a missed chance. As he was never recalled for the team again, the tour was his last in international cricket. Following that, Ankola announced his retirement from international cricket the same year.
At the Andheri Sports Complex in Mumbai, BCCI granted Ankola a pension matchTwenty20 benefit match between Sachin Tendulkar XI and Sourav Ganguly XI in March 2010. Ankola himself was in the squad, as well as Mahendra Singh Dhoni, captain of India's national cricket team. "Salil Ankola is indeed fortunate," a writer said. Not many players get to see an unexpected visitor in the form of the new India captain, who turned up for his benefit match.
Salil Ankola was selected as the Mumbai Cricket Association's chief selector in 2020.
Acting career
After retiring from cricket, Ankola shifted his attention to filmmaking. He made his cinematic debut with the 2000 Hindi film Kurukshetra, in which he starred a cop as the companion of a senior officer portrayed by Sanjay Dutt. He continued with Pitaah (2002) and Chura Liyaa Hai Tumne (2003), his last major release, Esha Deol and Zayed Khan, starred him. He appeared in Silence Please... The Dressing Room, where he played the role of a cricket captain. Although Ankola's role was not well-received at the box-office, the film was nevertheless highly lauded. In 2006, he appeared on the first season of Bigg Boss, the Indian version of Big Brother. He appeared in the Indian soap opera Karam Apna, where he signed a deal with Balaji Telefilms that "Ankola] will not appear in any television program other than those produced by Balaji Films." Since he appeared in Bigg Boss before the contract's end, one year from June 2006, the Bombay High Court has ordered him not to appear in any TV shows on other networks that are not considered competitors for Sony Television. Oh, heh...Koi Hai and Kora Kagaz are two of the other soap operas in which he has appeared.
Ankola went through a rough patch from 2008 to 2012. Neither his cricket career nor his acting career had enough funds to pay for his rising family bills. A mixture of alcoholism and marital insolubility resulted from a combination of alcoholism and marital breakdown. In 2010, the BCCI (India's apex cricket board) arranged a charity match for him to raise his funds, but it was too small. His first marriage (1992-2011) ended in divorce in 2011, but he slowly recovered enough to return to television to resume acting.
Salil appeared as Savitri's father in the daily show Savitri in February 2013, but after a makeover of the show, Shahbaz Khan replaced him in August 2013. He will be seen in an episode of the famous Zee TV show Fear Files, according to rumors.
