5 Indian legends who deserved a World Cup win

#3 Mohammad Azharuddin

Mohammad Azharuddin

Mohammad Azharuddin has had a career with many ups, and downs. He has a distinction of leading India in as many as 3 World Cups (an Indian record) but didn't have enough to go all the way in winning them the tournament. He has captained India in 174 ODIs, and 47 Test matches. He was also the first player in the history of the game to feature in more than 300 ODIs and was 1 shy of representing 100 Test matches for India.

Till date, Azharuddin is the only cricketer with the distinction of scoring a century in each of his first three Tests. He did this in his debut series against England. He is also one of the 4 cricketers to score a century in his first and his last Test matches.

With all being said, Azharuddin would have hoped for a World Cup win but it was not be in his 4 attempts.
