#6 Murali Kartik

When Murali Kartik first made his debut for India back in 2000, it was widely believed that the team had finally got a left-arm spinner who could go on to become one of the greats of the game. He was a spinner who had a superb action, could turn the ball and had changes of pace that could flummox the best of batsmen.
However, he never quite got is due because Anil Kumble was India's number 1 spinner and year after Kartik's debut, Harbhajan Singh became the confirmed second spinner after taking 32 wickets against Australia in that historic series in 2001.
Kartik only got a look in, when India needed to play three spinners or when one or the other of Harbhajan or Kumble were injured. He played only 8 Tests and 37 one-dayers for India in a career spanning 7 years.
