5 Players Sourav Ganguly didn’t back during his captaincy
The Kolkata left-hander led India for over five years and had a massive impact.
5. Sunil Joshi
Sunil Joshi is another cricketer who can consider himself pretty unlucky. The Karnataka left-arm spinner was a consistent performer in domestic cricket and yet, he was overlooked. He made both his Test and ODI debuts in 1996 and was in and around the national side throughout the late 1990s.
However, with the emergence and dominance of Harbhajan Singh alongside Anil Kumble, Joshi started fading away. Under Sourav Ganguly, then left-arm spinner played just 24 games across the two formats. He blew hot and cold during that period and hence, eventually found himself dropped.
Joshi last played in India colours in 2001. However, he played domestic cricket for about a decade after that. Thus, despite consistently performing, Joshi could never break back into the squad. Hence, he never got a chance to add to his 15 Test caps or 69 ODI caps after March 2001.
