2 Indian cricketers were born on 15th August, luck did not get along with them despite good start, today they are living anonymous life

Vijay Bharadwaj (born 15 August 1975) is a right-handed Indian batsman and off-spinner. Vijay started his career in the year 1999. Apart from India, teams from Kenya and South Africa were playing in the triangular series held in Nairobi. In that series, Vijay bowled brilliantly and took a total of 10 wickets, and scored 89 runs without being dismissed.

Vijay used to play wearing spectacles. He used to perform brilliantly wearing glasses both while batting and bowling. He was touted as the next big star of the Indian cricket team, but Vijay played only three Tests and 10 ODIs for India in his career.

Vijay was given the problem of a slipped disc, after recovering from which he got his eyes operated on. He said that he used to play with glasses on. In such a situation, someone advised him to undergo an operation to remove the spectacles, but after that, his eyesight decreased and he had to bear the brunt of it. Because of this, Vijay Bhardwaj's international cricket also ended soon.
