Manoj Tiwary was dismissed for two runs on his ODI debut

Bengal batsman Manoj Tiwary would have been able to carve out a career for himself as an Indian ODI batsman had he been playing in any other era. The sheer batting riches of the national team has meant that Tiwary has never quite been able to dislodge any batsman from his slot.

He was handed his ODI debut in 2008 against Australia at Brisbane and in a rain-affected game that was eventually abandoned. A jet-lagged Tiwary only scored only two runs before Brett Lee ripped through his defences.

He has scored one century and a fifty in ODIs but has only been able to play in 12 games for India. His last game was against Zimbabwe back in 2015.
