5 Indian cricketers who have played in the ICC Champions Trophy but never played in the World Cup

VVS Laxman

One of the best Test batsmen to have come out of the Indian ranks, VVS Laxman never found his true calling in the shorter format of the game. He was one of the unluckiest cricketers to have never featured in a world cup for India despite playing 86 ODIs for them.

He missed out on a spot in the 2003 world cup but found himself in contention for the 2002 and 2004 Champions Trophy, the former which India won.

He managed to score only 26 runs in two innings in the 2002 edition but performed a lot better in 2004 scoring 82 runs with one half-century to his name.
