#7. Harvinder Singh

Harvinder Singh played only three Tests and 16 ODIs for India but was an instrumental member of the team courtesy of his right-arm bowling.

After impressing the selectors with his performances in domestic cricket, Harvinder broke into India's Test team in 1998. He was effective in patches but failed to make a significant impact in Tests and hence was sidelined from the team after featuring in three Tests.

He was given more chances in ODIs but again the inconsistency haunted him and after picking 24 wickets in 16 ODIs, he was dropped. However, his three-wicket haul in the first ODI of the Sahara Cup against Pakistan enabled India to defend a modest total, and that game remains a memorable event in Harvinder's cricket career.
