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.

2. Wasim Jaffer

Wasim Jaffer, a brilliant former Mumbai hitter who, although scoring over 10,000 runs in domestic cricket, was the top-order campaigner who did not fare well in international cricket because he was not thought to be worth his potential. Jaffer has played over 238 innings in the Ranji Trophy, scoring a whopping 12038 runs.

His enormous run total is supported by a remarkable average of 57 and 40 centuries, making him the top run-scorer in the whole Ranji Trophy. He has 1944 runs in international test cricket and 19410 in domestic cricket. As it suggests, he had less success in international cricket than in first-class/domestic.
