5 technically correct batsmen who can take the World Cup by storm

The Man of the Tournament award for the World Cup has been given to batsmen 5 times out of 6. We have quite a few batsmen who will go into the tournament with a huge load of expectations on their shoulders. And as we have seen, the current generation can do very well to survive under pressure. In fact, they thrive under it.There are batters whose teams are heavily dependent on them to score the runs. Out of them, there are a selected few who are most likely to get the job done. They are technically sound and are in a good run of form to get the runs required.Here is a look at 5 who are most likely to take the World Cup by storm:

#5 Steven Smith

The player who recently became the first ever to score a century on ODI and Test debuts can surely be tipped off to score in any upcoming tournament, and the World Cup is no different. Steven Smith, who has awed one and all with his batting displays, is sure to make the fullest of the World Cup stage. He is now a permanent member of all the three cricket-playing outfits of Australia, and he took a remarkably less amount of time to do so.

He had an impressive 2014 with 541 runs with the bat in 12 innings, which included 2 hundreds and 3 fifties in all. He was also captain for the series against India, which Australia won convincingly. He will have no trouble batting on home turf whatsoever, and is sure to make the bowlers face some music. He will most probably bat at No. 4 in the tournament, and will be given the responsibility to keep the partnerships going while people like David Warner, Aaron Finch and Glenn Maxwell can do the hard-hitting around him.

He has his flawless technique to back him up and provide the necessary balance to the innings. He has also shown the ability to shift gear according to the circumstances of the game, one quality which proves to be an asset every time. He has a wide arsenal of shots that he is not afraid to unleash on any bowler, which makes him a very lethal batsman. One might want to wish all the bowlers bowling to him this tournament, good luck.
