10 Indian cricketers who played just one game and faded away
These players were unlucky not to get more chances to play for India.
10. Sudangsu Abinash Banerjee
Well, there have been a total of three so called ’S Banerjee’ named cricketers who have coincidently just played a single Test match for India and had faded away. But precisely when it comes to Sudangsu Banerjee, despite having an upstanding debut, the pacer unluckily never ever played for India again.
In terms of making his debut, Banerjee was selected to play in his hometown Kolkata against West Indies in December 1948. As a vigorous right-arm pacer, Banerjee did pick a total of five wickets in the game, especially with four being scalped in the first innings for 120 runs and the other one for 61 runs in the second innings. Besides this, a couple of catches were also held by the pacer.
But regardless of his overall impressive contributions in the third drawn Test, Banerjee slipped away and even after going through a hard grind for few more years in first-class cricket, the next call-up never actually came.
