Ranking top 10 unlucky Indian cricketers
They were star performers for their state, but unfortunately, failed at the big stage.
6. S Badrinath
Most of the IPL fans would remember Badrinath being the saviour for the Chennai Super Kings during the initial seasons of the IPL. Badrinath caught the attention of the selectors in 2007 when he scored a plethora of runs against Zimbabwe and Kenya. Later on, he was selected for the national side against Australia.
But, unfortunately, he was unable to get a game. During that year, he made 659 runs at an average of 65.90 in the domestic season. Later on, he made his debut when India toured Sri Lanka in 2008. He along with Dhoni ensured that India went over the line.
During his knock, he negotiated the likes of Murali and Mendis to perfection. But, after that series, he was dropped. Even though he was picked to play against Australia in 2008, he was unable to make it to the playing eleven. To be honest, it is never easy to make it to the side when Rahul Dravid, VVS Laxman, and MS Dhoni formed the middle order of the lineup.
