5 unsuccessful Indian cricketers with great statistics

1. Vinod Kambli

Vinod Kambli enjoyed unprecedented success early in his career

Test Batting Avg. - 54.20

Former Indian batsman Vinod Kambli has been one of the most colourful characters in the country's cricketing history. Kambli's career graph shot up at a very early stage of his career as he notched up back-to-back double centuries in his third and fourth Test respectively.

After his first 7 Tests, the southpaw's batting average was an incredible 113.28 and he was being looked at India's next batting hero. However, it is precisely at this time that Kambli's career hit a steep decline and he failed to score even a half-century in his last 10 innings.

By the time Vinod Kambli's Test career reached a dead end, his average had dropped drastically. The Mumbai cricketer, though, still managed to finish off with more than 1000 runs in 21 innings at a highly impressive average of 54.20.
