7 well-known Indian cricketers who have never played a World Cup game

#6 Ishant Sharma

Ishant Sharma

Ishant Sharma has been a veteran for India in test cricket, but in ODI cricket his performances are not quite spectacular. In 80 ODIs, he has picked 115 wickets. The problem with Ishant Sharma has been his inability to contain batsmen in the death overs.

Ishant did not feature in the 2011 World Cup and was ruled out from the 2015 edition due to injury. Ishant has lost his place in the ODI team long back and there seems to be very little hope of a comeback.

#5 Vinay Kumar

Vinay Kumar

We have seen a lot of Vinay Kumar in the IPL over the years. However, he has not been able to replicate the same success at international level. He's never been intimidatingly quick, usually bowling at a moderate pace of 130-135 kph.

Vinay's short ODI career comprised of 31 ODIs picking 38 wickets. In a game against Australia in November 2013, he got hit for 100 runs in 9 overs and was never seen again for India after that. Vinay was never considered for any World Cup squads either.
