4. Nicholas Pooran

One of the toughest cricketers going around. He was seen as a bright spot in the caribbean cricket but he met with a career threatening accident that almost took the life out of him.

What a incredible story of Nicholas Pooran! Due to car accident, his career was almost finished in 2015 but he came back strongly and now scores a CWC hundred vs SL in 2019 at Durham.

Horrific accident – 2 major surgeries – 6 months in wheelchair. Nicholas Pooran comeback story is unreal. Salute. #INDvWI

This gritty cricketer never gave up and came back hard to overcome all the obstacles and he is currently the best white ball cricketer for the West Indies. The fact that he is just 24 years old and has already seen the ups and lows will only make him stronger and harder in the years to come.

Before yesterday, Nicholas Pooran had never made a professional century, in any form of cricket. Against Sri Lanka, his 103-ball 118 fell agonisingly short of pulling off one of the great World Cup heists for West Indies.#CWC19 | @OPPO | #BeAShotMaker | #SLvWI pic.twitter.com/60dk9OUx5a

5. Janneman Malan

The 23 year old extremely talented right hand batsman is the new shining light for the Proteas. He is a brilliant player who doesn’t believe in power hitting but timing. He is player of oozing class and a brilliant touch player. With lost of T20 cricket around, it is very difficult to find touch players but Janneman Malan is definitely one among them.

He relies purely on timing and placement and has a very calm and matured head on his shoulders. His only ODI century came against the Aussies in the 2nd ODI of the 3 match series where he guided his team home with an unbeaten 129 runs against a top quality Australian attack.

He seems to be the perfect replacement for Hashim Amla and he along with the skipper Quinton de Kock will have a lot of work to do if they are to take South Africa again to their dominant best.
