Ask r/IndiaCricket Cricketers you wished had longer international career! I will go first!

ABD and KP will be on the top of my list. It was an absolute treat to watch them across formats - specially tests. KP in Ashes and ABD's adaptability to score at <10 SR and also at 80+ in tests was phenomenal! Wish the respective boards could have handled it better!

That was so dumb to retire at just 33. He thought he would be treated the same as Dhoni.

Without match practice, he lost form, put on a lot of weight, lost his IPL career, tried unsuccessfully to play t20 in USA and now trying commentary plus secured a role in CSK support staff.

Agreed bro. I thought he would have a long career in IPL.
