ICC World Cup 2019: 10 legends of the game who never won the trophy
Some writers often describe the trophy to be unlucky to not get wrapped in the hands of some cricketers and honestly, it is not completely exaggerated.

They say only one cricketer in the history was close to being perfect and he goes by the name Sir Garfield Sobers. Many all-rounders tried their fortunes to match up with the Caribbean immortal, but they never could.

He played his first World Cup in 1996 just months after making his International debut. He represented the Proteas in five World Cups and came agonizingly close to winning it in 1999 and 2007, where they missed out by “skin of the teeth” margins in the semifinals. Despite being a part of some outstanding South African teams, he never could make it to the finals.
