Dinda was shunted out of India's T20I team despite possessing a reasonable record

Upon earning plaudits from the legendary Allan Donald, who even claimed that the Indian seamer reminded him of himself, a lot was expected of Ashok Dinda. However, at 33, his international career appears to be all but over, as plenty of younger and quicker fast bowlers have jumped ahead in the pecking order.

Not many would know that Dinda made his T20I debut in the same match that Nehra did. While the latter has gone on to play 25 more T20I matches, Dinda has played just eight more so far. However, the right-armer has picked up 17 wickets at a good bowling average of 14.41.

The two fast bowlers played together in T20Is for the first time during the opening game of the two-match series between India and Sri Lanka at Nagpur. Both pacers endured a forgettable match as Kumar Sangakkara and Chamara Kapugedera flayed them to all parts of the ground.

The visitors amassed a humongous total of 215 for the loss of just five wickets and won the game quite easily.
