Although some people might be surprised by this inclusion or some might not even know this great Zimbabwean, he is worthy of all the praise he has earned over the years. Taylor will be remembered for his back-to-back centuries in the group stages against India and Ireland.

He led Zimbabwe from the front with the bat scoring the most runs for his country and was the 4th highest run scorer in the World Cup with 433 runs at an average of 72.17.

Although he broke many Zimbabwean hearts after turning to county cricket instead of staying with Zimbabwe cricket for financial purposes, he returned for the World Cup Qualifiers in Zimbabwe where they were unlucky to miss out on a World Cup berth. A legend in every right, Taylor definitely deserved much more than just a group stage exit.
