Stuart Binny is another player on this list. In the opening game of Road Safety World Series 2022 against South Africa Legends, Binny slammed spectacular 82 runs off 42 balls. He also won the man of the match award for his astonishing knock. He could only play 14 ODIs and 3 T20Is for the national team. In ODIs, he scored 230 runs in 11 innings and picked 20 wickets. In T20Is, he scored 35 runs in 2 innings and picked 1 wicket.

Binny once picked 6 wickets for 4 runs in an ODI match against Bangladesh, and it is still the best bowling show by an Indian player in ODIs. Indian team today has a shortage of medium-pace all-rounders and Stuart Binny could have donned the role for the team if he had got more opportunities in his favour.
