When India's 16-man squad to tour Australia for a five match one-day series in January 2016 was announced, the most shocking name that was in the list was of Barinder Sran, as nobody knew about the Punjab-born pacer then.

The only reason behind Sran's selection in India's squad for the tour of Australia was him being a left-arm fast bowler who could bowl at a good pace.

Sran made his international debut in the very first game of the series at Perth, and impressed everyone with his quick pace and was also the only Indian bowler who troubled the Australian batsmen, as he bowled an excellent spell of 9.2-0-56-3 in his debut game at a losing cause.

However, Sran failed to impress in the next two matches and was consequently dropped for next couple of series. Frequent occurrence of injuries did not help his case either as his last appearance for India was in June 2016 against Zimbabwe.


#5 Ishant Sharma

Once touted as the next big thing in Indian cricket by legendary Australian captain Steve Waugh, it is sad to mention that Ishant Sharma's international ODI career turned out to be a huge disappointment. As, a result of which the pacer has appeared in just 80 ODI games for India since his international debut eleven years back in 2007.

The main reason behind Ishant's poor limited overs' career has been his tendency to leak runs at the death overs on regular basis, as his ODI economy is just under 6.

During India's previous tour to Australia, Ishant was India's highest wicket with 9 wickets from 4 games, which was also the last time ever he played a one-day series.

Now with the newer crop of fast bowlers like Khaleel Ahmed, Mohammed Siraj, Siddarth Kaul etc., being given chances in the shorter formats, therefore it is clear that Ishant Sharma's international career in limited overs formats is finished.
