World Cup 2019: 7 Underrated players who did exceedingly well

#2 Liam Plunkett - England

The unsung hero of England's WC win - Liam Plunkett

Liam Plunkett is the unsung hero of England's WC triumph. While the bowling spotlight was on Jofra Archer and Chris Woakes, Plunkett picked up crucial wickets which turned the match in England's favor. His biggest contribution came in the final as he dismissed a well-settled Kane Williamson

He also picked up the innings' highest scorer Henry Nicholls for 55. His best spell came against India as he had three important scalps. First, he outwitted Virat Kohli to break the 138-run stand with Rohit Sharma and came back to dismiss the attacking duo of Rishabh Pant and Hardik Pandya.

Much like Ferguson, he also brought the downfall of opposition's best batsman in Williamson, Kohli, Chris Gayle, Mushfiqur Rahim, Quinton de Kock, and Hashim Amla. He kept bowling short at the batsmen and forced them to hit towards the longer square boundaries. He mixed up the slower balls and off-cutters very well, which kept the batsmen guessing.
