In cricket, <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/india-vs-new-zealand-2nd-test-stats-review-kohlis-record-win-ashwins-excellent-series-ajazs-record-figures-and-more/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">India</a> is known as a powerhouse of talent. India&#8217;s fans are among the most ardent supporters of the sport on the planet. They are thought to be the game&#8217;s most devout fans. In a country where cricket is so popular, competition is amplified by a significant margin. Even at the most junior level in the country, there is fierce competition among the players. Because of the fierce competition, it is extremely difficult to break into even the state squad, let alone the national team.

Many players move to different countries in search of opportunities and to alleviate their chances to represent themselves in international cricket. Some players get opportunities to break into teams of different nationalities and become legends of the game. Here, we have a look at

 5 Indian origin players who performed well against India

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-585421" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Ajaz-Patel..jpg" alt="Ajaz Patel" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-585421" class="wp-caption-text">Ajaz Patel.

Ajaz Patel, a left-arm spinner from New Zealand, is the most recent addition to this elite league of legends. On the field of cricket, he had his greatest day when he took a ten-wicket haul against his own country, India, in his hometown Mumbai.

The 33-year old was born in Mumbai and he emigrated with his family at the age of eight to New Zealand. He had a lot of bowling experience at Wankhede Stadium and had previously been a net bowler for Mumbai Indians. He took ten wickets in the second Test against India in Wankhede, becoming the third bowler after Jim Laker and Anil Kumble to take all of the wickets in an innings.

He is an integral part of New Zealand’s Test setup in the subcontinent and he showed his ability when he got pitches that aid his bowling. Despite the fact that his career has only just begun, he has the potential to become an all-time great for New Zealand in the future

The former English international cricketer was primarily known for his exploits during the memorable England tour of India in 2012. Born in Luton, England, to Indian parents, he was a Sikh. His parents moved from Punjab to Luton and settled with their family.

His contribution is most remembered in 2012 when <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/englands-eileen-ash-oldest-living-test-cricketer-passes-away-at-110/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">England </a>toured India and emerged victorious in the Test series by a 2-1 margin. Panesar teamed up with Graeme Swann to form a formidable spin pairing for England. Monty and Swann spun a web around the Indians as England completed a historic 2-1 series win, their first in Indian soil after 28 years.

In the Mumbai Test, Panesar took 11/210, his best ever figures in a Test match. In three Tests, the left-arm bowler took 17 wickets and demolished India&#8217;s star-studded batting lineup. This tour was the pinnacle of his career, and he was regarded as their second spinner, with Swann, for England&#8217;s subcontinent tours.

Nasser Hussain, a British commentator, and former English cricketer is a prominent figure on this list. He is recognized as one of the most revered commentators in the world having a wealth of knowledge in the game. He was born in Madras (now Chennai) and migrated to England with his family as a child.

Hussain&#8217;s most noteworthy innings came in the Natwest Trophy finals against India in 2002. Inflicting havoc on the Indian bowlers, he and Marcus Trescothick helped England set a difficult mark of 334. Nasser smashed the Indian bowlers all around the park for a magnificent 115. Despite the fact that his efforts were futile due to the defeat, this innings is considered one of the greatest highlights of his career.

He went on to captain England from 1999 to 2003 and was widely regarded as a brilliant strategist in the game. He accepted the role of commentator after his retirement and is considered an all-time great in the world of commentary.

(Photo Source: GIUSEPPE CACACE/AFP via Getty Images)</figcaption>

Another New Zealander joining this elite list is Ish Sodhi, India’s most recent arch-nemesis. Born in Ludhiana, Punjab, Sodhi moved with his family to New Zealand at the tender age of just four. He went on to play cricket and learn leg-spin. It is a matter of respect for him to grow as a frontline spinner in New Zealand where the pitches don’t offer anything for the slower bowlers.

Sodhi is considered to be the Achilles heel in India’s journey to a win against New Zealand. In the recently concluded ICC World T20, the leg-spinner spun a web around the Indian batters and stifled their run flow in the middle overs. He finished with impressive figures of 2-17 in his four overs and helped New Zealand restrict India to a paltry total of 110, which ultimately led to their ouster from the tournament.

In the past, he displayed tremendous performances against his own country. In the 2016 T20 World Cup, he picked up 3-18 in his four overs restricting India to just 79 and ultimately defending a low score of just 127. His 19 wickets against India are the most by any bowler against them in the format. These performances show his class and he leads the pack amongst all the <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/ind-vs-nz-virat-kohli-dances-on-the-ground-after-request-from-mumbai-crowd/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New Zealand</a> spinners in the white-ball format.

The <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/virat-kohli-hopeful-of-india-overcoming-tough-challenge-in-south-africa/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">South African</a> legend, HashimAmla, was of Indian descent and he played some whirlwind knocks in all three formats of the game. His father belonged to Surat, Gujarat before settling in Durban where Hashim was born and raised.

At the age of 21, he made his debut against India at Eden Gardens. In 2008, he scored his first away century of 159 runs against India in Chennai. His most notable performance against India was a 253* to help South Africa win by an innings and six runs at Nagpur. Also, it would be an injustice to not mention his blockathon along with AB de Villiers in Delhi(2015), albeit in a loss. He scored just 25 runs off 244 balls and did his hardest to escape defeat, but he was undone by Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin&#8217;s brilliance.

Amla holds the record for being the fastest ever to score 2000, 3000, 4000, 5000, 6000, and 7000 ODI runs. He also became the fastest cricketer to reach 10 ODI centuries. Amla beat Virat Kohli&#8217;s record of being the fastest cricketer to reach 27 ODI centuries on January 19, 2018. Amla has surpassed Kohli&#8217;s 169 innings to achieve the milestone in 167 innings. Overall, he is considered a legend in South African cricket and has made countless contributions to the sport&#8217;s development in the rainbow nation.
