5 most underrated bowlers in world cricket right now

#1 Nuwan Pradeep

Nuwan Pradeep is arguably the best Sri Lankan fast bowler currently

Nuwan Pradeep is the spearhead of Sri Lanka's new-ball attack. He made his debut in 2011 and has come a long way as a bowler ever since. He grabbed the eyeballs of many cricketing pundits with his ability to generate pace on docile Sri Lankan wickets.

He was the lone bright spot for Sri Lanka when they were whitewashed by India recently. He can bowl a sharp bouncer and a pin-point yorker and is arguably the best Sri Lankan fast bowler at the moment.

Sri Lanka are known to rely on their spinners to lead them to victories and producing fast bowlers is quite rare for them (apart from Chaminda Vaas and Lasith Malinga of course). The main focus is on spinners like Rangana Herath and Dilruwan Perera to produce results and quite often, the contributions of Pradeep go unnoticed.

The spinners take all the credit and Pradeep's efforts with the ball are not appreciated as much as they should be.

When he burst onto the scene, he was raw but his talent was evident. He has polished his skills with the ball and is quite accurate as well.
