Perhaps the most unluckiest of the lot to have not found a berth in the squad is left-arm chinaman spinner Kuldeep Yadav, who was the most impressive slow bowler on view in the ongoing Duleep Trophy.
The 21-year-old picked up a six-wicket haul in the opening match of the competition to lead his side to a win and then took 7 wickets combined in the next two matches to take them to a finals berth.
Not many chinamans have come in Indian cricket and Yadav certainly provides the side with a different option, one which they could be kept in the reserves in the series against New Zealand.
