Symonds played some crucial match-defining innings while batting in the lower middle order for his team during both the World Cups he played.
Before hanging up his boots, he featured in a total of 18 matches and scored 515 runs at a magnificent average of 103 including 1 century and 3 half centuries.
The second South African cricketer to be in the list, Lance Klusener has the best batting average among all the batsmen in the tournament. He participated in two World Cup tournaments ( 1999 and 2003) during his career but failed to end on the victorious side on both the occasions.
He featured in a total of 14 matches and scored 372 runs at an astonishing average of 124 including 3 half centuries.

Balakrishna
Balakrishna has been a cricket writer at Sportskeeda for almost seven years. A sport that he has been following and playing since he was eight, Balakrishna enjoys the intensity of the sport, skills and strategies applied to get a result out of nowhere, and the thrill that it gives. He also played as a medium pace bowling all-rounder in four inter-college tournaments, winning twice.
Balakrishna’s all-time favorite cricketers are Sachin Tendulkar and Rohit Sharma. He admires Sachin’s stellar performances against legendary bowlers, along with his discipline and humility. Meanwhile, he is a big fan of how Rohit turned around his initial struggles to build a successful career.
He avidly supports Team India and 2016 IPL winners SunRisers Hyderabad. The first World Cup that Balakrishna ever saw was the 2003 World Cup, when Australia comprehensively triumphed over India in the final.
