Top 10 bowlers who never got their due because of the greatness of their peers 

#2 Srinivas Venkataraghavan

It is true that the famed Indian spin quartet of the 1970s has gone into cricketing folklore and Srinivas Venkataraghavan is identified as one of those superb spin bowlers.

However, on closer inspection, one would see that it was primarily Bishan Singh Bedi, Erapalli Prasanna and BS Chandrasekhar, who are identified as the real movers and shakers.

Venkataraghavan made his debut for India in 1965 but he could never really dislodge the far more gifted Prasanna from the side and it was something that kept him out of the side most of the time.

It is a testament to his fitness that he could stretch his career over 18 years, otherwise, he would never have been able to play 57 Test matches.

In those Tests, Venkataraghavan took 156 wickets at an average of 36.11. In any other era, he would certainly have played 100 plus Test matches and become a legend of the game.
