The curious case of Abhishek Nayar

Abhishek Nayar featured in two one-day internationals, both against the West Indies recently, but is yet to register any relevant statistic against his name. He didn’t get to bat in either game, didn’t need to bowl, and wasn’t even involved in a catch or run-out while fielding. With the list of players to have made the Indian squad but not the playing XI being a long one, is Nayar's career heading the same way as that of RB Nimbalkar, Gopal Bose, Devaraj Govindaraj, Padmakar Shivalkar, SS Paul, Gagandeep Singh, Rajesh Powar, Ranadeb Bose, Pankaj Singh and the like? GS Vivek finds out in the Indian Express.
