Depak Patel and yes that is the man.
Re: 5 greatest cricketers of Indian origin who played for other teams - Mail - 01-13-2014
If the question is of Indian origins, ethnic and excluding mix, but to have/also played for a country other than his birth then that is different.
So for greatness aside you have, from the top of my head
Ranjitsinghji - England
SFAF Bacchus - USA
Depak Patel - NZ
Robin Singh - India (but I thought his parents)
Nasser's and Ramp's mothers are White British.
Ranjitsinghji had good FC and Test numbers.

For an ethnic Indian or black to play for a white country , he has to be twice as good as a white player
Either that or desperation on the part of the white country

de bearded one Hashim's grandparents are Indian, isn't his origin Indian?

Pup,
I would say but I think the definitions for this question are not clearly defined hence my assumptions.
