Akash Chopra's entry into test cricket in 2003, was precipitated by the Indian selectors' incessant flirtation with the opening slot. No opener seemed good enough to satisfy them. A couple of failures in the few chances offered and off they went to join the ignominious mob of failed test cricketers. Akash Chopra left the selectors unsure, at least for a while. His ability to keep his wicket on tracks inhospitable for batting and not to mention his solid defense caused the selectors to wonder if they had at found the right man. But soon enough, Akash Chopra was dropped after playing 10 tests and thus letting the selectors to dwell again in their favorite preoccupation. Akash Chopra plays for Delhi and remains a prolific run getter in the domestic circuit. livescore.warofcricket.com gives information on Akash Chopra and other Great Cricket Players.
