#2 Cheteshwar Pujara
Cheteshwar Pujara was considered by some to be a lost opportunity. While there were no doubts about the talented Saurashtra batsman's potential, his knee injuries posed a big threat to his presence in a team with a high fitness threshold.
However, Pujara's performances in the domestic circuit were too good to be ignored. After he got his chance, he seized it with both hands and went on a run-scoring rampage, hitting centuries and double centuries with ease.
As of this writing, Pujara has scored 5740 runs at an average of 49.48. He has hit 18 centuries and 24 half-centuries. Those are staggering numbers for a player written off as a missed opportunity by many.
Pujara's story has been one of passion and the determination to make it big. He has become known for his calm and collected mindset, and has been touted as the perfect successor to Rahul Dravid.
