#2 Farokh Engineer
Former Indian player and ace commentator, Farokh Engineer averaged only 29.5 in the first 21 tests of his career. Farokh moved to England after playing for India but he could not capitalise on his opportunities.
#3 Shubman Gill
As an Indian cricket fan, Shubman Gill’s name does not suit this list but it is a reality. A player like Shubman Gill is struggling to capitalize on the given opportunities as his average after the first 21 tests is only 30.4. There are very high expectations from him and these stats do not suit him.
