1. Amol Muzumdar

Amol Muzumdar is the first name that comes to mind when posed with the title of a stellar Ranji Trophy campaigner who couldn't cut the international side. He is a great batter who has constantly put in the work but has never received his fair rewards, if only because of the quality ahead of him.

In a career spanning over 20 years, Muzumdar scored over 11,000 first-class runs at an average of 48, including 30 centuries. He leads all hitters who have never played for India in terms of runs; as excellent as he was, he struggled throughout his career to break into a middle order that had made the Indian red-ball squad a hitting juggernaut, which is still bewildering for many fanatics regarding his exclusion from the Indian side.
