7. Sarfaraz Ahmed – 5/10
When you are facing Pakistan, you never know which side might turn up. They might leave you in awe one day and make you pull your hair on another. The year 2019 was similar but more towards the latter. It even ended with the axing of Sarfaraz Ahmed as captain from all three formats.
Pakistan played 25 ODIs in 2019 and Sarfaraz featured in 18 of them, leading in each one of those. They didn’t have a great start to the year but Pakistan won four straight games to end the World Cup which almost put them in the semi-finals as well. They even blanked Sri Lanka 2-0 at home.
Moreover, Sarfaraz’s form was decent as well as he amassed 408 runs at an average of 37.09 and even had a strike-rate of 94.00. Hence, the selectors were slightly was slightly harsh on him as far as ODIs are concerned.
