Congress leader and ex-Lok Sabha MP Mohammad Azharuddin is taking guard for the next innings in his political career - the former India cricket captain is his party's candidate for the Jubilee Hills seat in Hyderabad in this month's Telangana election. Azharuddin, who led India in 47 Tests and 174 One Day Internationals, faces a strong challenge from the incumbent lawmaker - the ruling BRS' Maganti Gopinath - but told NDTV he is confident of a good result after the state votes on November 30.
