5 unsung T20 heroes of England and South Africa

#1 Loots Bosman

Bosman had some scintillating shots up his sleeve during his T20 days with South Africa

Very few remember swashbuckling Loots Bosman who opened for South Africa in T20s from 2006-2010. While his appearances were few and far between, Bosman created quite a stir with his aggressive batting, in contrast to his partner Graeme Smith's approach.

Bosman was involved in a world record opening partnership of 170 with Smith against England as his team compiled a huge 241. Bosman fell on 94, missing out on what would have been just the second T20I hundred at the time.

He never kicked off after a disastrous World T20 campaign in 2010 and was soon out of the team. However, with 323 runs in 14 games at an average of 24.84 and a scintillating strike rate of 147.48, Bosman was an unsung hero for the Proteas in his time in national colors.
