In 2012 against New Zealand, Bravo scored 35 not out runs off just 11 balls with the help of 1 four and 4 big hits over the ropes to lead his side to the path of ascendancy in the match. 3.

Buttler has shown that he is not only a man of awe-inspiring abilities but he can transform his skills into runs as well. In 2012 at Birmingham, Jos Buttler wrecked away the African bowling with his gallant inning of 32 runs which came off merely 10 deliveries at a strike-rate of 320. In this dismissive inning, he stroked 2 fours and 3 sixes, which means half of the deliveries he faced went for boundaries. 2. Jehan Mubarak (Sri Lanka) – 353.84: Jehan Mubarak.
