This Himachal Pradesh lad also made an entry into the Indian team on the back of both IPL performances for Kings XI Punjab and a good domestic record. He was the type of bowling all-rounder India was looking for before Hardik came into the scene.

With a decent first class batting average of 40.73 and 248 wickets from 59 matches at a healthy average of 26, he made the right noises in the domestic circuit, but could not justify his selection in the limited chances he got to showcase his talent.

Now he doesn't feature even in the IPL.
