The cheeky South African middle order batsman might be in the news for all the wrong reasons due to his Test and ODI exploits, however, he is without a doubt a hero for his side in T20s. A flamboyant batsman who loves to attack from ball one, Duminy is South Africa's leading run-scorer in the format with 1683 runs at an impressive average of 38.25.

That he also has the most sixes in the format for a South African speaks a lot about the impact the off-spinning all-rounder has had. Despite his Test and ODI form waning, Duminy is a force to reckon with in T20s.

A fantastic 68* off 34 balls with seven sixes in a chase of 200 against India in Dharamsala last year is a testimony to Duminy's finishing skills in T20s. He also has 17 wickets at an average of 29.76.
