Mohinder Amarnath

One of India's most inconsistent players of all, Mohinder Amarnath had a roller-coaster ride during his career.

He was the man-of-the-match in the 1983 World Cup final but one year later was out of the national team. He made several comebacks in his Test career and was known to score runs during tough times.

The moving ball was his weakness and he was often troubled by the pacers in conditions that aided swing bowling. However, he did find a way to negotiate the threat of the moving ball in the latter part of his career, but he remained vulnerable to short deliveries in the early phase of his inning.

In 69 Tests, he amassed 4378 runs at an impressive average of 42.50. He ended his career with 11 Test hundreds out of which nine came in overseas Tests. But thanks to his inconsistency and technical weaknesses, he also has 12 ducks in his Test career. Out of those 12 ducks, five were scored against West Indies in 1984 in six innings. These five zeroes in six innings were responsible for his nickname 'Mr. Amarnought."
