Ross Taylor is the only cricketer in this list who is still playing the beautiful game at the international stage.

It was a group encounter during the 2011 Cricket World Cup. Ross Taylor helped New Zealand to put on 302 runs on the board by playing the sheet anchor role with his composed 124 ball 131 runs innings. His tally included 8 fours and 7 sixes. He also turns out to be the only batsman to have scored a World Cup century on his birthday.

New Zealand went on to win the match easily and there is no prize for guessing the man of the match.
