4. Yere Goud

Yere Goud made his first-class debut for Karnataka and thereafter joined the Railways. He was known for his patience, rigidity, and consistency with the willow for obtaining pivotal runs. He won the Ranji championship with the Railways squad in 2001-02 and 2004-05, winning three Irani trophies, one Duleep Trophy, and a Ranji one-day trophy.

He returned to Karnataka as captain in 2006 and was one of less than 20 players to collect 100 Ranji caps in 2008. Goud, who hails from Raichur, a tiny village in Karnataka, scored 7650 runs at an average of 45.53, including 16 hundreds. Despite the figures, he is another athlete who scored heavily but failed to put down the Indian jersey in the international cricket segment.
