Top 5 First-Class Indian batsmen who did not make it big in International Cricket

#2 Hrishikesh Kanitkar

Kanitkar played 34 ODIs for India

One of the few batsmen to have scored more than 8000 runs in Ranji Trophy, Kanitkar was a massive name in First Class domestic cricket averaging above 52 in 146 matches. He went on to play 34 ODIs for India but failed to play any significant innings, scoring just one half-century in 27 innings.

Kanitkar led the Rajasthan side to their maiden Ranji Trophy title in 2010-11 when they defeated Baroda in the finals. A prolific run scorer in first class Cricket, he is best remembered for hitting a boundary when India required 3 runs off 2 balls in the Independence Cup final at Dhaka.

Kanitkar retired from domestic cricket in 2015.
