1. Kuldeep Yadav:
Yeah, surprised? But, yes, Kuldeep Yadav is one of them, who never got the chance under Mahendra Singh Dhoni. Kuldeep, a rare breed of chinaman bowlers in the modern-day, had revived the art out of its grave along with a handful of other young chinamen. He set the 2014 Under-19 World Cup alight by becoming India’s leading wicket-taker in the tournament.
He grabbed the deal for Kolkata Knight Riders and delivered match-winning spells for the team. All the good work helped him to seal a spot in the Indian team, which was being led by MS Dhoni against West Indies.
However much like Karn Sharma, Dhoni went with his regular spinners, who are at their prime. After a fine time, he made his debut for India and surviving well under the captaincy of Virat Kohli.
