Cricket, as a sport, has evolved from time to time. Various rules have changed over the years but the biggest revolution in cricket till date has been the rise of T20 format. It has added a completely new dimension to the game.

The T20 format is in complete contrast to Test matches. Therefore, the set of skills required are different altogether and hence, the format has its own specialists. The batsmen in T20s are required be aggressive from the outset.

In such an era where big hitting is the most important trait in a T20 batsman, there have been a few who have broken all the taboos. Here is a list of few classical Test batsman who took the world by surprise in T20s.


#5 Kane Williamson

Arguably New Zealand's best batsman, Williamson has a textbook perfect technique. He came through the ranks pretty quickly on the back of his stellar performances. The right-handed batsman is well equipped to handle spin as well as fast bowling of the highest standard.

His batting expertise is unquestionable. He has the temperament to bat for long hours and tire the opposition out. However, it is his smooth transition into a T20 batsman that has impressed the most.

Astonishingly, he holds a strike rate of 130 in IPL and 120 in international T20s. He has played some great innings for Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL as well. Surely, he is a player of all formats.
