We look at six such Indian players in this list.

The left-hander was picked in India's Asia Cup squad after an excellent maiden Indian Premier League (IPL) in 2008 and in the opening match of the competition, he repaid the faith by scoring his maiden ODI hundred against Hong Kong in Karachi.

A couple of years later, he made his first T20I hundred as well overseas against South Africa in the World T20 and a few months post that, he was handed an Indian Test cap against Sri Lanka in their own backyard.

Raina grabbed the opportunity with both hands, stroking his way to a maiden Test hundred, thereby confirming the faith that was shown in him.
