It is the dream of any player to win a World Cup for the country. If you are a world champion and still do not get a place in the team, then there is a different feeling. Certain players in the Indian team have also had to go through the same experience since Virat Kohli took over as captain.
Virat Kohli has not won any major tournament under his captaincy so far. But even after that, he hasn’t used the experience of senior veteran players who have helped the team in conquering the world.
Today we are going to tell you about those four World Cup-winning players who could not get a single chance under the captaincy of Virat Kohli. Although these players also performed very well for some time, even then they did not get a chance in the team.
Virat Kohli: 4 WC Winners Who Didn’t Play A Single Match Under Him
Robin Uthappa:
If we exclude only the last IPL season, Robin Uthappa has done well. But he has not got a chance to play in the Indian team even after that. He last played for the Indian team in 2015. Till that time, Mahendra Singh Dhoni had the captaincy in his hands.
Robin Uthappa has scored 934 runs in 46 ODIs for the Indian team at an average of 25.94. This includes six half-centuries. He has also played 13 matches in the T20I format. In these games, he has scored 249 runs at an average of 24.9 which includes a half-century. His strike rate has been 118.01.
Uthappa was part of the Indian team that won the T20 World Cup in 2007. He has proved himself continuously in T20 format but even after that, his return to the Indian team has been very difficult.
