Ryan McLaren was one of the best T20 all-rounders who made his mark in almost all the T20 leagues around the world. Apart from those T20 leagues, McLaren also made his presence felt in T20 internationals by holding the record of the best individual bowlers by a South African bowler. In the first T20I against Windies at North Sound, South Africa batted first and set a target of 137 for the home side.

The Windies, led by Chris Gayle, lost both of its openers early on in the innings as Ryan dismissed both Andre Fletcher and the captain himself before the completion of the mandatory powerplay. McLaren then returned to bowl the death overs and picked the wickets of Kieron Pollard, Sammy, and S Benn to complete his 5-wicket haul. The man of the match had figures of 3.5-0-19-5 in that match.
