10 famous cricketers who missed major career milestones

Cricket is a team sport where 11 individuals try to help each other to achieve success. While playing for the team, some cricketers notch up some brilliant milestones that stand the test of time. However, there are times when batters adopt more of a conservative approach once they get closer to a century. Bowlers also tend to go the extra mile when they have bagged four wickets as they strive to register a five-for.

However, there are many major cricketing milestones that cricketers have missed during their careers. While some may look back on them with disappointment years after their retirement, others may be content on what they have achieved during their careers.

On this note, let's take a look at 10 famous cricketers who missed major career milestones:

10. Mohammad Azharuddin

The former India captain played 99 Tests for India before he was banned for life by the BCCI in 2000 for his alleged involvement in match-fixing. However, the Andhra Pradesh High Court went on to declare the ban "illegal" in 2012. This allowed Azharuddin to take part in cricket administration. However, his dream of playing 100 Test matches for India remained unfulfilled.
