World Cup 2019: Three West Indian players India should watch out

#2 Sheldon Cottrell

Sheldon Cottrell

Sheldon Cottrell has been making headlines in this World Cup 2019 not only because of his bowling for his team but also for his celebrations after picking up a wicket. With nine wickets in six matches, Cottrell is the West Indies’ leading wicket-taker in the tournament. Along with that, his contribution in form of stunning catches and run-outs makes him the x-factor on the field for his side.

Cottrell is a left arm fast bowler which makes him even more threatening considering the history of Indian batsmen against left-arm pacers. His inswinging deliveries to the right-handed batsmen are pretty effective. With no Shikhar Dhawan, the Indian batting line-up is full of right-handed batsmen who have been suscpetible to left-arm fast bowlers in the past.

So the top order needs to make sure that they don't give away wickets to Cottrell early in the innings.
