5. Irfan Pathan:
The man who was tipped to be the next Kapil Dev of India has one of the saddest careers in the game. Blessed with the ability to swing the ball both ways, a 19-year old Irfan Pathan took the world by storm. But then a series of injuries and other reason stopped him from showing his true potential. The allrounder last played for India in 2012 and currently he is not even in the reckoning for a berth in the team.
