3. R Vinay Kumar

R Vinay Kumar's Ranji Trophy stats say eloquently about him. In 207 Ranji Trophy innings, he has taken 442 wickets, which is backed by a commendable average of 21. In addition, he has taken 24 five-wicket hauls (5W) and four ten-wickets-a-match (10WM). Unfortunately, he could not handle the pressure and expectations at the most significant level.

The Karnataka captain, who led his team to two consecutive Ranji Trophy titles (2013 and 2014), has only played one Test for India, where he took just one wicket. In his 31 matches ODI stint, he was decent enough to scalp 38 wickets at a noteworthy economy of 5.94, but it is evident that it doesn't sum up his complete performance. The same applies to his T20I stint, where he took 10 wickets in nine matches.
