3 Indian players who scored a fifty in their last innings but never played again

#1 KL Rahul (ODIs)

KL Rahul

There is no doubt about the talent KL Rahul possess as he can easily be one of the few batsmen who can be in the XI across all three formats. But, the right-hander is dealing with some issues, largely with his mind, over the last few months and is getting out cheaply on a consistent basis.

He is the third-choice opener in the ODI side for a while now and it is very difficult for him to get into the top of the order ahead of Shikhar Dhawan and Rohit Sharma. In an inconsequential 2018 Asia Cup tie against Afghanistan, Rahul opened the batting in the absence of both Rohit and Dhawan, who were given a rest for the encounter and scored a stroke-filled 60 and put on a 110-run stand for the opening wicket with Ambati Rayudu.

Both the first-choice openers returned to the side and Rahul was not given another chance in the format. He is still with the Indian ODI side and could get his chance in the coming days as an audition to the 2019 World Cup.
