How many of you remember a healthy, yet muscular Jesse Ryder at the top of New Zealand‘s batting order tormenting the bowlers for fun? There were comparisons being drawn to some of the greatest hitters of the game and clearly, Ryder had it in him to etch his name forever in not just New Zealand’s history, but everywhere. What really stopped him from achieving the greatness he was associated with for so long is a question that still haunts many fans.

Ryder indulged in a “late night drinking session” during the series against Windies in 2009, which saw him getting dropped. His drinking problem was becoming serious with every passing day and his performances started to dip, with the cricketer losing his composure. He was also attacked in a bar in 2013 by some other drunkards, where he suffered a skull fracture and was medically induced into a coma.

Sadly, the game where Corey Anderson scored a 36-ball century, Ryder too chipped in with a hundred and that was his last association with New Zealand in International cricket. The 34-year-old’s tragic turn of events didn’t go down well with many Kiwi fans who were already seeing their side struggle so badly during that time.
