In this list, we look at 7 Prominent players who beat the odds to play international cricket:

1. Bhagwat Chandrashekar (India):

Before the arrival of one Anil Kumble, he was considered India’s premier leg-spinner. In a career spanning 58 Test matches, he took about 242 wickets at a decent average of 29. But what makes his achievement noticeable was his right arm, which was his bowling arm, withered during his childhood due to a polio attack. After recovering from the attack at the age of 10, he moved to Banglore and decided to become a leg spinner, and the rest is history.
