‘ICC T20I Performance of the Year’ over the last 10 years

2015: Faf du Plessis

The only T20I performance of the year in a losing cause

In a series against the Windies that saw many noteworthy performances, South African skipper Faf du Plessis walked away with the award for his innings of 119 that came off 56 balls. Having hit 11 fours and five sixes on his way to the landmark, du Plessis’ effort remains the only performance that came in a losing cause, yet presented with this award.

The South African captain across all formats has to his credit 1191 T20I runs scored at a healthy average of 36.09 and at a strike rate of 133.22.

Other contenders: Chris Gayle’s match-winning 90 off 41 balls against the Proteas at Johannesburg; Morne van Vyk’s 70-ball 114*; David Wiese’s 5-23 versus the Windies at Durban.
