5 Unlucky players in Indian cricket history
These players got a very few chances to prove their mettle and didn't get the deserved backing.
5. Subramaniam Badrinath
S Badrinath played 145 First-class, 144 List-A and 142 T20s in his career. But he ended up playing only 2 Tests, 7 ODIs and 1 T20I for India. Opportunites were far and few for him too and was one of those players who was racking up runs for fun in the domestic circuit.
The fact that he averages 54.49 in FC cricket proves how consistent he was. And Badrinath’s ability to rotate the strike was immense. In the middle-order, he used to hold the team’s innings together. But unfortunately, he didn’t get enough time in the blue jersey or in the India whites to do it due to the presence of some legends who were doing great at the international level.
Badrinath was actively playing cricket until 2017 before he decided to hang his boots as there were no hopes of making any comeback to the national team. He played his last game for India in June 2011 in the ODI against the West Indies.
