5. Nuwan Kulasekara
Nuwan Kulasekara had picked 199 wickets in 184 matches for 14 years from 2003 to 2017. Even as he even got to the top of the ICC rankings, the 37-year-old had his difficulties while plying his trade in the knock-out matches.
In 16 encounters, the right-armer could churn out only 15 wickets at a poor average of 42.40. His best figures of 4/10 came against India in Dhaka way back in 2010. In seven of those matches, he failed to make a single breakthrough. On a couple of instances, he also went at over six runs per over.
The former Lankan pacer also conceded the very six, which gave India their second World Cup after 28 years. With the bat though, he played a few handy knocks lower down the order. He scored 73 runs off 60 balls against Australia in 2012 at the renowned MCG.
