Top 5 Test batsmen who surprised everyone in T20s

#4 Mike Hussey

Hussey scored a belligerent 24 ball 60 in World T20 against Pakistan

Australia, in the 2000s, was a team made of legends. There were hardly any places up for grabs. As such, even a player like Mike Hussey had to wait till the late-20s to get a chance. When the opportunity came, the West-Australian grabbed it with both hands.

Soon, he became the fulcrum of Aussie batting. He excelled in Test cricket as well as ODI cricket. He scored a plethora of runs in both the formats with an average of 51 in Tests and 48 in ODIs. All this led to him being nicknamed 'Mr. Cricket'.

Still, Hussey was never considered a T20 material. To everyone's surprise, though, he kept piling up the runs in T20 cricket as well. He was an integral part of the Chennai Super Kings franchise, that won the 2010 and 2011 edition of the IPL.

Hussey's most famous inning in T20s came against Pakistan. Coming in to bat in a precarious situation, he scored a 24 ball 60 in 2010 T20 World Cup semi-final. This innings silenced his critics who doubted his ability as a T20 batsman.
