Pankaj Singh
 
Have a look at his stats.
Pankaj Singh | Cricket Players and Officials | ESPN Cricinfo

Aren't these excellent for an Indian pace bowler? He was the top wicket taker last season (51 wickets in 10 FC games) on spin dominated Indian tracks & was a major reason behind Rajasthan's triumph in Ranji Trophy.
He was selected in Indian squad for the 2007-08 Australian tour,but didn't get a chance to play any match.He played his debut & only match match in Zimbabwe tri-series last year.
What a pity.Only a single match till now for such an impressive bowler.
He is quite tall & can make use of bouncy tracks outside the sub-continent.
Abhimanyu Mithun wasn't that impressive last season but i don't know why the selectors still opted for him instead of the top wicket-taker Pankaj Singh.
He is at his best currently & the selectors didn't even pick him in the emerging players tournament squad.They even picked Anirudh Srikkant.This is so disgusting.:@

Yups.True.But the problem is that even the IPL teams have very much lesser interest in him.He played for Rajasthan Royals in IPL 4 but got a single match only.
In IPL 3,he was with the RCB & played a few matches in the last rounds & was quite impressive.You can try searching for his videos on youtube,playing for RCB.

Well, can't go entirely by his stats alone - he has played almost all his FC games in the Ranji plate league. Though, to be fair to him, they are a whole lot better than what Sreeshant has achieved, playing in the same league.

Agree that he has got a raw deal - he should have got a chance to prove himself in the emerging players tournament. One can't help feeling that if he had played for Srini's Chennai Super Kings rather than Modi's Rajasthan Royals, his would have been one of the earlier names in the list.

Yeah, he's definitely got a raw deal. He was in the squad and got dropped without actually playing a game, and has since done everything you could expect of him domestically only to be leapfrogged by several bowlers of very questionable credentials. Seeing Zaheer, Sreesanth, Praveen, Sharma and Munaf ahead of him is fair enough but the reasons behind Mithun, Unadkat and Yadav jumping the queue ahead of him before he even got a chance to play will always be a mystery to me. Perhaps Dhoni really took a set against his attitude or his character when he was in the team setup.

Yeah.I wonder why a captain like Warne didn't give him more chances?
And yes,so dissapointing act by the selectors in the emerging players tournament.If the season's top bowler can't get a place,then who should!

Yeah.Even Unadkat with negligible FC experience got a chance. :@

Could be that Warne didn't think he's good enough?

Bowling in the IPL and FC/Tests is completely different ,tbf

Yup. Would be good for India if a certain Harbhajan Singh realized it.

Pankaj Singh doesn't sound like a name that should belong to a very good fast bowler. Should change his name, tbh.

This can't be a reason.He performed so well for RCB in IPL3.He was simply ignored TBH.
