#9 Aaron Finch
The Australian limited overs captain is certainly a devastating batsman, and there is no cricket fan who doesn't know about it. Aaron Finch is a reputed bit hitter and has played many scintillating knocks over the years. He is known for scoring hundreds in the T20 format and has amassed massive scores of 156 and 172 in T20Is against England and Zimbabwe, respectively. He has had six 100+ scores in T20 cricket, which speaks volumes about his talent.
The 32-year-old has scored 7,835 runs in 248 innings at an average of 35.45 and at a strike rate of 142.5. He might not have form on his side, but it is only a matter of time before he starts clearing the boundary ropes with ease.
#8 Evin Lewis
Often touted as the next Chris Gayle, Evin Lewis can be as destructive as the 'Universe Boss' himself. The Trinidadian is known for hitting big sixes and excels in T20 cricket, which makes it clear as to why he has been compared with Gayle.
He has scored two T20I centuries against India already and has four in his T20 career. He has scored 3,607 runs in 120 innings at an average of 31.92 and has a strike rate of 144.68.
