India is home to around 1.3 Billion people. While Cricket isn’t the country’s National Sport, a boundless number of children aspire to represent the country at the International Level. Only a few get the honor of wearing an India cap, the lakhs of other cricketers are left behind.

Over the years, there have been many India-born cricketers to play for different nations. In this article, we will take a look at five such India-born players who represented the United States of America:
