Ranji Trophy 2016-17: Top 5 performers so far

#4 Pankaj Singh

Pankaj last played for India in 2014

This Indian team discard has been knocking on the door of the selection committee for many years with his strong domestic performances for Rajasthan.

This year was no different as he is currently the highest wicket-taker in the Ranji Trophy with 31 wickets to his name at an average of 20.77 in the six matches he has played. He would have felt extremely hard done after being left off the squad for the five-match Test series against England.

The speedster who made his debut for the Indian Test side against England in 2014 was hardly given a chance to prove himself as he was dropped after just two matches. He played his only One Day International against Sri Lanka at Harare where he had a disastrous outing as he did not pick up any wicket and conceded 45 runs in 7 overs.
