#4 MS Dhoni (India)

The former Indian captain, MS Dhoni, has been one of the most influential members of the Indian limited-overs for more than a decade with the bat and his valuable presence behind the stumps. However, 2018 saw a plunge in Dhoni’s form as he failed miserably to score runs when the team needed.

Dhoni represented India in 20 ODIs in 2018 and scored 275 runs at an ordinary average of 25.00 and a paltry strike rate of 71.42. In fact, he even failed to register a single fifty last year in ODIs. Keeping the World Cup in mind, the team management would want the 37-year-old to make use of the upcoming ODI series against Australia and New Zealand to get back to the form.

#5 Rovman Powell (West Indies)

After making his ODI debut in 2016, the hard-hitting batsman has become an integral part of the West Indies's ODI set up with his valuable contributions in the lower middle-order. Howbeit, the things turned upside down in the year 2018 as the Jamaican failed to live up to his true prowess.

Playing 17 ODIs for West Indies in 2018, the 25-year-old has just scored 373 runs at a mediocre average of 26.64 and an un-ODI strike rate of 78.52. Powell could cross the 20-run mark only in the six matches out of 17 he played in 2018.
