Top 5 players who passed in Ranji Trophy but failed in International Cricket
The Ranji Trophy has shaped Indian cricket, producing exceptional talent. However, some stars, despite shining domestically, couldn’t replicate their success internationally. Here are 5 such players.
1. Manoj Tiwary
One of the most baffling tales in Indian cricket over the last two decades has been pertaining to Manoj Tiwary, who was never given the opportunity to play consistently for the national team despite his batting prowess. Despite hitting his first century in the fifth ODI against the West Indies in 2011, he was omitted from the team for the further matches.
The Bengal player returned to the side for the Sri Lanka series, scoring 65 in the fourth ODI, but was once again dropped as the Indian management continued to support the other young and emerging options. In his Ranji Trophy and first-class career combined, he has accumulated 10195 runs in 148 matches, averaging 48, with 45 half-centuries and 30 centuries.
