4) Ajit Agarkar
The former Indian fast bowler Agarkar had great potential but never lived up to his billing. A string of inconsistent performances over the years sent him down the pecking order. However, that didn’t stop him from providing inspiring performances for the team now and then.
He stands in third place among the highest wicket-takers for India in the ODI format. With 288 wickets, he’s only behind Anil Kumble and Javagal Srinath. He picked them up at an average of 27.85 and an economy rate of 5.07. As a bowler who specialized in death, these are very respectable stats.
With the bat in hand, he had impactful performances in the lower order. His best innings came at Lord’s, where he scored a 109* and although India went on to lose the match, his knock is etched in the honors board at Lord’s.
