7. Thisara Perera
Thisara Perera made a thunderous start to 2019. The Sri Lanka all-rounder plundered New Zealand with scores of 140 and 80, though they came in losing causes. But from there on, his ODI journey in the year went completely pear-shaped.
Parking aside the two knocks, the left-hander managed 123 runs in 14 matches at an average of 8.79. Overall, Perera batted with an average of 21.43 in 2019. In his last nine ODI innings, the 30-year-old could cross the double-digit mark only twice. Perera faltered with the ball as well.
He picked eight wickets, averaging 70.62 as compared to his career average of 32.49. In the World Cup, Thisara got 63 runs at an average of nine and got the only wicket of Afghanistan’s Mohammad Nabi. He hasn’t donned the national colours for the last five months.
