#4 Murali Vijay

Murali Vijay could not perform well in the warm-ups of Champions Trophy 2017

One of India’s most dependable openers in Test matches could not create much of an impact in limited overs cricket. Murali Vijay habitually caters to the needs of a Test match, exuding a sense of calm and patience at the crease.

His splendid form in Test matches earned him an ODI call-up for the Champions Trophy in 2013. But he couldn’t capitalise on his opportunity as he failed to score runs in the warm-ups.

He last featured in an ODI in 2015 against Zimbabwe. Unfortunately, Vijay had to cede his spot to other performers in this edition of the tournament and watch it from home on his television screen.
