Great Indian batsmen Sachin Tendulkar and Mahendra Singh Dhoni returned without opening an account in ODIs on their debut. Suresh Raina, Shikhar Dhawan and K Srikanth also had the same condition but all of them exploded in ODI cricket.
One player who has the status of God in the cricket world. The player whose name is the most international run started with his ODI debut disappointment. On 18 December 1989, Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar made his ODI debut against Pakistan. The account of this dhurandhar, who came out to bat at number 5, could not even open it. When Sachin Tendulkar said goodbye to ODI, he had 18426 runs, which is still world record.
The only captain of the world who has won three different tournaments of ICC. Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s ODI career also started with disappointment. The former Indian captain, who was counted from ODI to all -time fans, made his debut against Bangladesh on 23 December 2004. In this match, Dhoni returned after run out without scoring any run. When he finished his career, he had a total of 10773 runs in 350 ODIs.
The ODI career of Suresh Raina, who was the best all -rounder and match winner player of the Indian team, also started with zero. On 30 July 2005, he was lbw out by great spinner Muttiah Muralitharan on ODI debut against Sri Lanka. Suresh Raina scored 5615 runs in 226 ODIs for India.
Shikhar Dhawan, who was India’s star opener, was dismissed for zero on 20 October 2010 against Australia. Fast bowler Clint Mecca scattered his gills. Leaving behind the disappointing start, this dhurandhar has scored 6793 runs for India playing 167 ODIs.
India’s explosive opener Krishnamachari Srikanth made his ODI debut against England on 25 November 1981. He was forced to return without opening the account by Ian Botham. Srikanth has scored 4091 runs in 146 ODIs.
