One of the finest servants of the game and a belligerent all-rounder from Sri Lanka, TM Dilshan was the first captain to score a century in the shortest format of the game. In the first match of the two-match series in 2011, Dilshan stroked a brilliant 104 in 57 balls against a decent Australian attack which had the likes of Brett Lee, Mitchell Johnson and John Hastings.

After setting up a total of 163 which was par for the course back in 2011, Dilshan captained brilliantly and never allowed Australia to get back in the game as the hosts won by 35 runs and went onto win the series 2-0.
