#5 Shoaib Malik

A veteran, Shoaib Malik, occupies the number five spot. He remains to be a stalwart of their limited-overs lineup having racked up a significant amount of runs. In the recently concluded tri-series, Malik scored 132 runs in five matches at an average of 66. He has scored 2121 runs in 103 T20I games that he played at an average of 32.14 with a decent strike-rate of 122.89.
#6 MS Dhoni (Wicket-keeper)

The former Indian skipper, MS Dhoni, has been in terrific form lately. Arguably, he is one of the best wicket-keeper in the history of cricket. Dhoni, who has scored 1487 runs in 93 T20I games, still has the ability to finish the games in the limited-overs format. He became the first keeper to take five catches in a T20I match.
