The fourth place in the list is taken by Pakistan batsman Ahmed Shehzad. During the edition of the T20 World Cup that was held in Bangladesh, Shehzad blasted a breathtaking ball against the hosts.
Pakistan won the toss and decided to bat first. And from the word go, Shehzad stamped his authority over the opposition. In a knock laced with 10 fours and 5 sixes, the opening batsman sent the opposition on a leather hunt. As far as the bowlers are concerned, Umar Gul picked up 3 wickets for Pakistan, giving away 30 runs.

Walking in at No. He scored his century off just 51 deliveries, as the Bangladeshi bowlers were left gaping at the savagery that McCullum displayed out in the middle.
In reply, apart from Nasir Hossain who scored a half-century, none of the other Bangladeshi batsmen could even cross the run mark, as New Zealand decimated their opponents by 59 runs.
