#2. Imran Tahir (South Africa)
The World Cup of 2019 will be the swansong in Imran Tahir’s ODI career in the South African colours. The 40-year old veteran, who has already announced his post-World cup plans to retire from ODI cricket, will want to finish on a high by breaking the World Cup jinx for the Proteas.
In doing so, he will have a job in hand to deliver the goods for his country at the pinnacle of International cricket. The World No.4 bowler in ODI cricket, Tahir has witnessed a splendid run of form in the recent past. His recent success in IPL should do a world of good to the player who’s nearing the twilight in his career.
His love for leg-spin, an art that only few can master, sees him as the main man for South Africa going into this World Cup. If wickets offer enough assistance to his style of bowling, Tahir will undoubtedly be featuring at the cliff for most impactful performance for his team.
