Nilesh Kulkarni
Not a very fruitful career after a brilliant start

This lanky left-arm spinner from Mumbai entered record books when he took a wicket with his first ball in Test cricket, as he became the only Indian bowler to achieve this feat. He took the wicket of Marvan Atapattu, but then could not pick any other as he toiled away for 70 overs.

Kulkarni could only play 2 more matches in his career, and picked up just 2 wickets. He retired from First class cricket in 2010.
