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.

5. Arun Lal

Arun Lal played 156 first-class matches and scored 10,421 runs, an amazing total for a talismanic veteran batter. He averaged 46.94 on the domestic circuit, with the highest score of 287, and was the driving force behind Bengal's Ranji Trophy victory in 1989-90.

Arun Lal's skill in the sport can be traced back to his father, uncle, and cousin, all of whom were Ranji players. Unfortunately, India was unable to take advantage of his potential. In a seven-year international career, he played only 16 Tests and 13 One-Day Internationals, failing in both formats.
