Amol Muzumdar is a domestic player who was the classmate of the legendary Sachin Tendulkar during his school days. He had the potential to become the next Sachin Tendulkar of cricket but had the worst luck by his side as he never got the national call-up. Consistently performing in the domestic tournaments, he had made immense records to his name. Muzumdar holds the world record for the highest-ever score by a player on his first-class debut. He even held the record for most runs scored in the Ranji trophy, which was later on broken by Wasim Jaffer.

He got the call for India A side under the leadership of Rahul Dravid pertaining to his consistent form in domestic seasons. Despite having a first-class average above 50 and over 11 thousand runs, he disappeared under the shadows of his competitors Dravid, Sachin, and Ganguly.
