An XI of unlucky Indian players to have not played a single World Cup match 

#10 Praveen Kumar

Praveen was used extensively with the new ball by Dhoni

Praveen Kumar rose to the ranks under the captaincy of MS Dhoni. Kumar shot into prominence after his breakthrough performance in the Tri-series in Australia in 2008. His ability to get swing with the new ball made him instant success and he was a regular member of the Indian ODI side.

Owing to his good performances, the Meerut lad was included in India's World Cup squad in 2011. But that is when misfortune struck for Kumar as he suffered an elbow injury and was ruled out of the tournament, a tournament India went on to win.

#11 Ishant Sharma

Ishant was selected for World Cup 2015

Ishant Sharma has been around for a long time now. Apart from playing 90 Tests for the country so far, the lanky pacer has played 80 ODIs as well. Even though Sharma's economy rate is on a higher side in ODIs, he has bowled some memorable spells, one being in the final of the Champions Trophy 2013 for India.

Ishant's outstanding record in Australian conditions paved a way to his selection in the World Cup squad in 2015 but just before the tournament began, he was ruled out due to a knee injury. Ishant last played an ODI in 2016.
