5 states that have contributed the most Indian ODI internationals

Tamil Nadu

Ashwin is an important player for the Test and ODI squad

Tamil Nadu also figures among the top five exporters of players to India’s ODI team. Having given India 22 one-day international players, beginning from spinner Srinivas Venkatraghavan, who pushed the spin quartet of India to perform at their best, Ravichandran Ashwin has continued the state’s legacy of producing extraordinary spinners.

Tamil Nadu too, benefited from having Chennai, a colonial centre of power amongst its territory. The city, along with Mumbai for long remained the focal point of India’s cricketing world.

Although the state hasn’t produced a player worth note since Ashwin’s ascent, players like Murali Vijay and Dinesh Kartik have represented India in the recent past.
