8. Vinod Kambli:
Determination and discipline never seemed to be there. Unlike his childhood mate Sachin, he hardly could lay his focus totally on cricket, which was hampered by so many distractions in the outside world. He lost the urge and vigour to play the game very early, especially after the dramatic end to India’s world cup quest in the semifinals of the 1996 World cup against Sri Lanka.
He remained in and out of the team so many times and was given adequate chances to come back strongly into the team, yet he could not cement his place in the side at all.
