3. Yere Goud:
The former Railways and Karnataka skipper was one of the finest players in the domestic arena in the first decade of this century.
When Yere bid adieu to the game, former Indian fast bowler Javagal Srinath said:” Yere was the Rahul Dravid of the Railways team.”
In a career that spanned over 15 years,Yere scored 7650 runs at an average of 45.53 with 16 centuries and 39 half-centuries. He won the Ranji title in 2001-02 and 2004-05 with the Railways team and then went on to win three Irani trophies, one Duleep Trophy and a Ranji one-day trophy. However, all these achievements were not enough for him to make it to the national team.
