10 Indian cricketers who played just one game and faded away
These players were unlucky not to get more chances to play for India.
5. Kenia Jayantilal
By being part of the infamous West Indies tour of 1971, where the legendary Sunil Gavaskar had astoundingly stacked a record of 774 runs in his debut series, Kenia Jayantilal was actually the reserve opening batter who played the first Test match when Gavaskar had got injured.
Especially with being someone who was well equipped with good defense along with carrying weaponry of strong pull shot, unfortunately, all that Jayantilal had managed from his debut innings was mere 5 runs in his tally. However, with Dilip Sardesai then coming in at number four and scoring a remarkable double hundred made sure that Indians never had to bat again in that Test match.
Overall while Kenia Jayantilal unluckily had only represented India once, the cricketer was well-known to be a stalwart of the Hyderabad Ranji side and has in total scored some 4687 from his 91 first-class games in his entire career.
