India Cricket Team: With so much competition for places, international careers of these 5 domestic stalwarts refuse to TAKE-OFF – While the results might not always portray the true picture, India currently boasts of an enormous wealth of talent. There is a fierce competition of getting into the national squad and despite consistently doing well in the domestic circuit, a few players are still awaiting their chance to shine in the royal blue. Follow InsideSport.IN for more info.

Check out five domestic stalwarts whose international careers are not taking off:

Devdutt Padikkal might trigger a bidding war

Now 21 years of age, Devdutt Padikkal certainly has time on his side, but one can say that he has done enough to get a chance in the national team. The swashbuckling batter from Kerala has scored 1391 List A runs at an excellent average of 77.27 and he also boasts of a T20 average of nearly 40.

Shahrukh Khan

Shahrukh Khan could be the solution to India’s finishing conundrum, for he has been in superb form in domestic cricket. The Tamil Nadu lad has a first-class average of over 50 and a domestic average of over 40. If needed, he can also come in handy with his off-break bowling.

KS Bharat

Kona Srikar Bharat has been a part of the Indian Test team for quite a while now, but is yet to get his debut opportunity. With Wridhhiman Saha now not being considered for the national team, Bharat is India’s second option for wicket-keeping after Rishabh Pant. The Andhra player is in sublime form, having scored 323 runs in his last three matches. Overall, Bharat has scored 4289 first-class runs at an average of 36.65.

4. Sarfaraz Khan

Sarfaraz Khan

Sarfaraz Khan recently grabbed headlines for an outstanding knock of 275 runs in a Ranji Trophy game against Saurashtra. The Mumbai batter has been in sensational touch with the bat and has scored 1823 runs in only 20 first-class matches, at an astonishing average of 75.95.

Rishi Dhawan

Rishi Dhawan played a major role in Himachal Pradesh’s historic Vijay Hazare Trophy win back in December. The all-rounder has been in good form for a while now, and as for his career statistics, he has scored 3710 first-class and 2385 List A runs, alongside picking up 309 first-class and 158 List A wickets. However, his chances of making it to the Indian team looks slim with the emergence of Venkatesh Iyer.
