#3 Samir Dighe
The wicket-keeper batsman from Mumbai was called into the Indian team when he had given up hope playing for the national side. At 31, Dighe was in the United States studying when he earned his limited overs debut in a series in Australia.
He was quite impressive there, bagging four catches in a game against Pakistan. He had to wait two more years to get his Test call-up which was also against Australia in the now famous Chennai Test in 2001.
He had quite an ordinary outing with the gloves but then in the second innings, with the bat, Dighe scored an unbeaten and courageous 22 to take his side to a famous victory.
Thereafter he became a first choice keeper for Sourav Ganguly for some time, but his batting form deserted him soon.
As a result after playing just 6 Tests, he never again got a call back to the Indian team.
