Top 5 Ranji Trophy stars who didn't play for the Indian Cricket Team
The Ranji Trophy has shaped Indian cricket, helping stars refine their game. However, some top performers never got the chance to represent India. Here are five such players.
3. Mithun Manhas
Mithun Manhas is regarded as a legend in Delhi cricket. He even won the Ranji trophy for his state in 2008. The former Delhi captain has scored over 8000 runs in 150+ Ranji Trophy appearances, with an impressive average of 45.
Like most of these situations, he was unfortunate to be born in the same generation as Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly, and Rahul Dravid. He has also competed in the IPL for teams such as the Pune Warriors India and the Chennai Super Kings. If not for the intense competition, he would have played for India and scored many runs. Unfortunately, he could not do so and currently holds positions in the coaching department of cricket teams.
