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

#4 Ambati Rayudu

Ambati Rayudu

Ambati Rayudu's international career started very late despite him being talented and debatably deserving. Rayudu made his ODI debut for India in July 2013 against Zimbabwe. Just like many others, he was in and out of the team and did not establish himself for a long period of time.

Rayudu was picked in India's 2015 World Cup squad and did not get a single game. Then in 2018, when he had established himself as a No.4 batsman, he was snubbed at the last moment and the selectors opted for Vijay Shankar. As a result, he has never featured in a World Cup game for India.

He has played 55 ODIs scoring 1694 runs at an average of 47.

#3 Amit Mishra

Amit Mishra

Arguably the unluckiest Indian cricketer of the 2010s, Amit Mishra's extraordinary abilities remained under the shadow of his fellow spinners. Throughout his career, Mishra was in and out of the Indian team and hardly got a streak of games on the trot.

In the 2011 World Cup, Ravichandran Ashwin was preferred to Mishra to team up with Harbhajan Singh, despite Mishra being the senior of the two. By 2015, Ashwin had already established himself well enough to feature in the first choice XI and hence there was no room for Mishra.

Later on, the duo of Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal emerged putting an end to Mishra's international career. Mishra played 36 ODIs picking 64 wickets and picked 2 five-fers in his career.
