The left-arm fast bowler had a scintillating start to his T20I career, picking up 2 crucial wickets, one of those being South African skipper Graeme Smith. He only conceded 15 runs in his quota of 4 overs which proved to be a match-winning spell.

Ajit Agarkar had a decent time with the ball, picking up the decisive wickets of AB de Villiers and Herschelle Gibbs, conceding just 10 runs in 2.3 overs. It was towards the end of his career though and he went on to play 3 more games for his side.

#11 S. Sreesanth

Sreesanth was pretty impressive in the tour, particularly in the Tests, but on that day, he didn't have a good outing with the ball, conceding 33 runs in his quota of 4 overs, and picking up the lone wicket of Albie Morkel.
