Rajesh Chauhan – The lucky charm of India in the 90’s

Anyone who followed Cricket in the 90s would be spared if he/she fails to remember the most capped player on this list - Rajesh Chauhan. For Chauhan, with his anodyne off spin, didn't have the most distinguished of bowling careers. as his averaged hovered around 40 in both the formats. In fact, his most memorable moment on the cricket pitch, that still causes sparks to fly on YouTube between Indians and Pakistanis, came with the bat when he won India an ODI in Karachi against Pakistan with a last over 6 off Saqlain Mushtaq.

And no, we aren't confusing him with a certain Hrishikesh Kanitkar.Such is the anonymity Rajesh Chauhan lives with, and unfortunately so, when you realize that Chauhan holds one of the most enviable cricket records in the world. In 21 Test matches that he played for India, he never finished on the losing side. Not even once. So, Chauhan has the longest career among those who can claim to have 100% unbeaten careers.
