Five Indian cricketers who were unlucky not to have played more for their country

#3 Mohammad Kaif (Test cricket)

Kaif played in just 13 Test matches for India

While Mohammad Kaif has a special place for himself in the history of Indian ODI cricket, he could never quite build a similar legacy in the longest format of the game. Known for his tremendous fielding ability and the calm head he sported on his shoulders, Kaif was a cricketer who stretched his limitations to the hilt to shine in international cricket.

The 37-year-old, who featured in 127 ODIs for India, could play just 13 matches in Test cricket. He did considerably well in the limited chances he was privy to, scoring 624 runs in 22 innings with three half-centuries and one century in the format.

Kaif always displayed a lot of commitment and character on the field, scripting a special place for himself amongst the aficionados of Indian ODI cricket. If he felt indignation for not getting his fair share of opportunities in the white flannels, no one could really blame the batsman for the same.
