5 Indian Players Whom Fans Always Expected To Play For India

Yuvraj Singh

Yuvraj Singh, the former Indian all-rounder, has made a huge contribution to Indian cricket. Yuvraj Singh represented India for nearly 17 years in which he emerged as a big match-winner.

Yuvraj Singh announced his retirement from cricket last year, but Yuvi has been a player whom fans wanted to see in India’s jersey on the field every time. Yuvraj Singh gained special popularity as the ‘Sixer King’.

Suresh Raina

Suresh Raina was also a big player in Indian cricket. Under the captaincy of former captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Raina carried the middle-order on his shoulders for a long time. Suresh Raina succeeded in playing all three formats for India but in the limited-overs format, he was unstoppable.

Suresh Raina has made a tremendous contribution to the Indian team. For this reason, fans always wanted Raina to play in the limited-overs team for India but since 2018, Raina has got no chance to play any match for India and he is currently playing domestic cricket and IPL.

KL Rahul (Test Cricket)

KL Rahul, the rising star of the Men in Blue, has been steadily growing. Rahul has made tremendous improvement in the last few months and has established himself in a very special place in the team.

Rahul has currently become a very important player in the limited-overs of the Indian cricket team but he was dismissed from Test cricket last year. But the fans always want to see him in Test cricket for India too.

R Ashwin (Limited-Overs)

Ravichandran Ashwin is currently playing only Test cricket. He might be the best Indian spinner in Tests but he has been completely eliminated by the team management in the limited-overs format since 2017.

R Ashwin, who has consistently done well for India, is now left as a Test bowler but Indian cricket fans want to see Ashwin always playing in ODIs and T20 cricket apart from Test.

Ambati Rayudu

Ambati Rayudu was considered firm to have a seat in the Indian squad before the World Cup last year but, to everyone’s surprise, he was dropped from the World Cup. After this, Rayudu also retired.

Though he pulled back out of the retirement but, the fans’ dream of witnessing him in Indian colours might not come true.
