5 Ranji Trophy captains who never played for India

#4 Yere Goud

Goud was called Railways’ Own Rahul Dravid

Often called Railways’ own Rahul Dravid, Yere Goud made his first-class debut for his home state Karnataka in the Ranji season of 1994-95, before shifting to Railways for nearly a decade and guiding them to the titles in the 2001-02 and 2004-05 seasons.

Though Goud came back to captain Karnataka in the 2006-07 season, he once again went back to Railways and continued for another three seasons with them before bidding farewell to his 17-year career in 2012.

Goud made 7650 runs at an average of 45.53, including 16 centuries. He became the highest run-scorer in 2001-02 with 761 runs.
