Innings: 3, Runs: 34, Average: 11.33

Another case of luck gone wrong is Manoj Tiwary. One of the best talents in the domestic circuit, he got his India break in early 2008 and of the 12 ODIs he has played, he has a century and a half-century against his name.

However, the experiment to put him at No. 4 backfired big time and he could manage a mere 34 runs in three innings at a miserly average of 11.33.

He represented India in the ODI series in Zimbabwe where a lot of senior players were rested to test the country's bench strength.

His last innings in India colours came at No. 4 where he managed just 10 runs. Post that, he lost his place in the national side.

He still continues to lead his Bengal side in the domestic tournaments, but the chance to make it back to the top is bleak.

One of the most hard-working lads even when he is not in the team, Pandey probably needs a little longer rope to settle down and be made secure of his place in the side. If done so, he can be the player India is in need of.
