5 lesser known fast bowlers who have represented India

Tinu Yohannan had a short outing as an Indian Test bowler

#4 Aavishkar Salvi

Salvi had modelled his action on the legendary Glenn McGrath

With an action which was an absolute carbon copy of Australia’s great fast bowler Glenn McGrath, Aavishkar Salvi had raised many hopes of becoming India’s next bowling sensation. Unfortunately for him though, he was only able to last on the international scene for a paltry 4 ODIs, 3 of them coming in a tri-series played in Bangladesh.

Injuries were the primary reason which held Salvi back from achieving the success he was tipped for, as he even had an on-and-off domestic career because of the same. He reappeared on the cricketing scene during the 2009 IPL and went on to fulfil a dream of bowling alongside his idol Glenn McGrath, which may serve as the only consolation for the former Mumbai pacer.
