A New Zealand all-rounder who has been a relatively late entrant in international cricket, Colin de Grandhomme has been making his presence felt with some consistent performances. He had a mixed World Cup, but did enough to prove that he is worth having in the playing XI more often than not.

In 10 matches, De Grandhomme scored 190 runs at a strike rate of just over 100 with two fifties. One of those half-centuries came against South Africa in a winning cause, while the other fifty against Pakistan was in vain.

De Grandhomme finished with reasonable numbers with the ball as well. He picked up six wickets at an excellent economy rate of 4.15, which proves that batsmen found it hard to get him away. He came up with an excellent spell of 1 for 25 in the final, which kept New Zealand in the hunt.

The all-rounder played for Royal Challengers Bangalore in 2019 but, like the franchise, did not have a great time. In four matches he managed only 46 runs, while going wicket-less with the ball.
