5 modern-day Indian cricketers who didn't live up to their full potential

#4 Varun Aaron

Varun Aaron

At a time when the Indian pace bowling attack consisted mainly of swing bowlers in the world of Brett Lee, Shoaib Akhtar and Shaun Tait, Varun Aaron soon became the face of India's hope to have a pacer with raw pace. The speedster showcased an ability that not too many had - i.e., bowling the ball at a speed of over 140-145 kmph.

While the Jharkhand lad impressed with his ability to bowl fast, he didn't create the problem that he would've liked to for the batsmen. He ended up going for runs, and has an economy of 6.62 runs per over from 9 matches, to his name. Though he did pick up 11 wickets from the 9 games that he played, his inability to control the ball soon found him warming the benches and eventually out of the squad.

If Aaron had worked well enough on his weaknesses, we could well have seen him be a part of Virat Kohli's Indian pace attack which is currently dominating world cricket.
