World Cup 2019: 5 Players who can be the breakout star of the tournament

#4 Hazrattullah Zazai

Hazrattullah Zazai is one of the most dangerous openers of the tournament.

The left-handed opener from Afghanistan can single-handedly destroy the opposition within the span of an hour on his day. The 21-year-old southpaw came into the limelight when he hammered 162* off 62 deliveries in a T20 international against Ireland earlier this year. He hit a world record 16 sixes in that innings.

He had an astounding Afghanistan Premier League where he was the second highest run getter with 322 runs to his name at an astonishing strike rate of 193. In a match against Balkh Legends, he smashed six sixes in an over and scored a 12 ball fifty to equal the fastest fifty record with Yuvraj Singh.

Zazai can provide the same start as McCullum did for New Zealand in the last edition of the tournament. With Shehzad taking the more responsible role now, expect Zazai to come all guns blazing and make a name for himself in the tournament.
