#8 Brendon McCullum (New Zealand)

Nicknamed Baz, Brendon McCullum also had a similar approach to that of Chris Gayle when it comes to T20 cricket. McCullum played the role of a leading batsman for the New Zealand side throughout his career. He was the second cricketer in the world and the first one from New Zealand to score a century in T20 cricket.
Baz scored his 1st international T20 century at Lancaster Park in New Zealand against Australia in 2010. And just after 2 years, he smashed another century against Bangladesh. In both the matches, New Zealand ended up on the winning side.
#7 Martin Guptill (New Zealand)

Martin Guptill has remained as the cornerstone for the New Zealand side playing as the team’s opening batsman. Guptill has made some incredible contributions for his nation which will never fade away and is the 2nd batsman from his country to score a century in the shortest format.
South Africa and Australia are the 2 sides against which Guptill has scored his T20I centuries - in the year 2012 and 2018, respectively. He scored 101 and 105 runs against these 2 opponents.
