Touted as the next Virat Kohli, Unmukt Chand lost his way immediately after the success of the Under-19 team. He led the side to a historic win in Australia and came under the spotlight. However, he never graduated to the next level and despite having the talent and abillty, remains aloof from any discussions when it comes to the Indian side.

He couldn’t make it big while playing for the Mumbai Indians and for the other IPL sides and this further eroded his chances.

Lack of runs and his comments on politics in the Delhi dressing room didn’t helped his cause. Chand became the classic case study for youngsters fresh out of the victory in U-19 tournaments on how not to handle your career.
