5 players who made their international debuts with Ashish Nehra but faded away

#1 Sudeep Tyagi (India)

Tyagi's international career took a nosedive after just five appearances

Sandwiched between the emergence of Praveen Kumar and Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Uttar Pradesh seamer Sudeep Tyagi had a brief tryst with the Indian team in the 2009-2010 season. But, like the vast majority of fast bowlers from the country, the right-armer faded into obscurity without fulfilling his potential.

Tyagi donned the Indian jersey for the first time during the second match of the bilateral series between India and Sri Lanka at Mohali. Upon gaining entry into the playing 11 in the place of Dinda, he bowled at more than ten runs per over in his short spell.

India chased a 200-plus target successfully to emerge as the victors. That game remains his only appearance in T20I matches. After an underwhelming outing in the third ODI against South Africa at Ahmedabad, his international career came to a grinding halt.

Even though it has been over seven years now since his last match for India, the 30-year old is in no mood to throw the towel in just yet.
