5 Indian cricketing careers that never really took off

2) Ambati Rayudu

Since 2001 when his talent came into notice, Ambati was considered as the future of Indian batting, but his way to the team was a long one. Rayudu was the captain of the Under-19 team that reached the semi-finals in 2004. Being non-consistent was one of his main negatives and hence his team mates including Raina, Dhawan and Irfan made it to the national side long before him. Rayudu was also part of the Kapil Dev’s ICL which turned out to be a controversial and a flop show.

He now features in the Indian T20 side and also one-dayers with associate nations but his poition in the side is very volatile. His Ranji record is a proof of his potential which is under-recognised by the selectors.
