2014: Aaron Finch

Finch holds the record for the highest individual T20I score

In a T20I against England at Southampton played on August 29, 2013, Australian opener Aaron Finch created history when he walked back to the pavilion after is 63-ball innings of 156. The knock that came at a strike rate of 247.61 included 14 sixes which is a T20I record and is also the highest individual score in a T20I.

Finch’s knock prompted the Australian management to promote him to the role of skipper and it also rocketed him to the numero uno position on the ICC Rankings for T20 batsmen.

Other contenders: Alex Hales for his knock of 116 (57) against Sri Lanka in Chittagong; Rangana Herath for an eye-boggling spell of 3.3-2-3-5 against the Kiwis at Chittagong in the 2014 edition of ICC WT20.
