5 lesser rated cricketers who can take World Cup 2015 by storm

Every player is a valuable asset to a team in his own way. There are many players who live under the shadow of star players in their team and do not get their share of praise, but their contribution to the team is of no less importance.Teams have a tendency to set plans for star players of their opponents and often tend to forget to focus on lesser rated players, which can turn out to be troublesome for their fortunes in a big tournament like the World Cup.Here are few cricketers who are underrated, but could prove to be match-winners for their teams at the World Cup:

#1 Tim Southee

The Kiwi medium pacer, at 6ft 4in, is ideally built for conditions down under.

With the new ball in his hand, he has the ability to exploit flaws in any batsmen’s technique with his late swinging deliveries. His back-of-the-hand slower ball is extremely tough to pick up and can be used as a wicket-taking option in the death overs when batsmen look to accelerate. The tall bowler can bowl toe-crushers at a brisk pace as well.

His lusty blows down the order, make him an all round option for the Kiwis. He was the third highest wicket-taker in the last edition of the World Cup in the subcontinent.
