Representing the country at the international level in cricket is the biggest achievement a cricketer dreams of in his life. But only a few individuals are fortunate and blessed to reach this level of the game and many players go in vain exhausting themselves in domestic and First Class cricket.
Whereas, there are also the cricketers who get a break at international cricket and represent the national side of their country. But due to either of the reasons, they, unfortunately, can’t be the favorites in the eyes of selectors despite their brilliant performances on the given opportunities.
With said that, here we’ll have a look at 8 Indian cricketers who made it to the international debut but couldn’t be more fortunate to stay in the action for a long time.
Karun Nair
The 31-year-old middle order batter Karun Nair appears for Karnataka in the Indian domestic circuit. He made his debut for the national side of India almost six years back in the year 2016 during the Mohali Test against England.
Notably, Nair is only the second Indian batter after former blistering opener Virender Sehwag to smash a triple ton in Test cricket. But it seemed that this triple ton didn’t go down well with the Indian selectors and they didn’t give more than 6 Tests and 2 ODIs to Karun Nair. It can be said that a great prospect got wasted without giving any specific reason.
