5 unlikely Indian heroes who have now been forgotten

#1 Joginder Sharma

Joginder Sharma, despite his limited matches, has an unforgettable role in Indian cricket history

4 T20Is and 4 wickets. Look at Joginder Sharma's T20 international career statistics and on first glance, they would suggest to you that he was perhaps just another Indian bowler conveniently forgotten now. But numbers, as they say, do not always tell you the story.

For the few who have watched the inaugural edition of the ICC World T20 in 2007, Joginder Sharma will always be a part of their fond cricketing memory. In the last over of that match, when a rampaging Misbah-ul-Haq seemed determined to take Pakistan to glory, MS Dhoni did the unthinkable thing. He threw the ball to Joginder Sharma instead of Harbhajan Singh.

And the rest, as they say, is history. That infamous scoop brought about Misbah's downfall and Joginder Sharma became a momentary overnight hero. It also signified the birth of Dhoni's era as one of the best Indian captains ever.
