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:

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 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.

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 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 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.
