4. Alfonso Thomas
Alfonso Thomas was a prominent figure in the shortest format of the game. He had numerous variations up his sleeve and was a force to be reckoned with at the fag end of the innings. On his day, the Cape Town-born dismantled even the best of batting line-ups and stamped his authority on the cricket field.
The former South African cricketer featured in 225 T20 matches and bagged a staggering tally of 263 wickets at an economy of 7.55. Alfonso also made one international appearance in the shortest format and bagged three wickets at an economy of 6.25.
Though Alfonso was not at his wicket-taking best in the Indian Premier League, he did a decent job with the ball and picked up 14 wickets in 15 matches for Pune Warriors India at an economy of 7.73. The former right-arm pacer played his final game in May 2012 against Royal Challengers Bangalore.
