5 Unlucky players in Indian cricket history

4. Manoj Tiwary

Manoj Tiwary is another unfulfilled potential in the Indian cricket in the last two decades. He is still playing for Bengal and recently expressed his desire to make a comeback into the Indian team. But many realise that this cricketer should’ve got enough chances to prove his mettle.

Tiwary played only 12 ODIs and 3 T20Is after making his debut in 2008 and until 2015. No consistent chances and lack of opportunities led to him not growing at the international arena. The Bengal batsman scored 287 at an average of 26.09 with a century and a half-century to his name.

Interestingly, he was dropped from the team once after scoring a century as the senior players returned and unsurprisingly, he is also the one who last played on Zimbabwe tour when India sent a second string side in 2015.
