10 players who increased their fan following this World Cup

The 2015 World Cup has come to an end with Australia emerging as champions for the fifth time in their ODI history. The mega event saw some established  players putting up some exceptional performances and helping their side reaching deep into the tournament.However, there were also few players, who came into the tournament, with not many pinning a large amount of hopes on them but courtesy some fine performances, they did increase their fan base at the end of the tournament.Here are 10 such players who leave the World Cup with a larger fan contingent than before:

#10 Shaiman Anwar

The United Arab Emirates(UAE) didn't have a lot to celebrate about at the 2015 World Cup, except for a few individual performances, especially from the bat of Shaiman Anwar. The right-hander scored 340 runs in 6 matches at an impressive average of 51.83, that included a century against Ireland at Brisbane and at one point was even the highest run-getter of the tournament.

The 36-year-old also made 67 and 62 against Zimbabwe and Pakistan respectively and looked the most competent of all UAE batsman in the line-up. With the ICC limiting the number of teams for the next World Cup to 10, it does look as if this was the last time the cricketing fraternity was able to get a glimpse of the right-hander at the global stage.
