The greatest T20 XI of all time

#5 David Hussey

Prominently a T20 player, David Hussey is rated highly as one of the best all-rounders in cricket history. The younger sibling of the famous Hussey brothers, David has scored 5960 runs at a strike rate of 133+ apart from his 68 wickets from 258 matches and has been a major contributor in T20s.

The right-handed batsman shot into fame when he smacked a run-a-ball 212 for Victoria in the 2003-04 Australian season and as a result was contracted by Nottinghamshire the same year. The next three years saw Hussey turning into a run-machine courtesy his stunning form through all seasons in English and Australian cricket.

Primarily suited to the T20 format, Hussey was picked by KKR in the player auction of IPL 2008. He performed up to expectations, averaging just above 29 at the end of the first season. Notably, Hussey emerged as one of the costliest players bought in the 2011 auction, going to the Kings XI Punjab for a whopping US $1.4 million.

The subsequent year, he was appointed as the KXIP captain owing to Gilchrist’s unavailability for the season due to injury. In the Australian circuit, the off-spinner has represented the Melbourne Stars for six years now in the BBL, having joint forces with them in 2011.
