5 successful Test cricketers who did not achieve great heights in ODI cricket

2nd Test - Australia v India: Day 3

#1 Cheteshwar Pujara (57 Tests, 5 ODIs)

1st Test: South Africa v India, Day 3

Cheteshwar Pujara is someone who is tailor-made for Test cricket. He stands out among the other Indian batsmen because of his patience and ability to bat for long hours. The Saurashtra batsman, who was never truly considered to be ODI material, was pushed into the one-day team in 2013. He played 5 ODIS for India and failed to score big in any of these. Finally, the selectors lost their patience and stopped investing in Pujara for the 50 over format. Even though he hasn't announced his retirement from the ODI format, it is hard to believe that India will turn to Pujara again for ODI cricket.
