#5 Jaydev Unadkat
How many remember him as the guy who played a test match for India as a 19 year old. He also have 7 ODI caps to his name. The left-arm seamer is someone who can be a long term player for India and is probably the best of the left-arm bowlers around at moment.
Yes, there is Irfan Pathan, but he is definitely not doing enough to impress the selectors. This Saurashtra guy isn’t doing wonders either but has age on his side. The fact that he is leftie gives him advantage over Dhawal Kulkarni who is someone too good on the domestic scene not to have played for India.
