Top five wicket-takers in T20s

4. Alfonso Thomas:

Alfonso has played just one T20 international for South Africa

Though he has played just one T20 international for South Africa, Alfonso Thomas has significant figures in the format. Standing fourth on the list, way ahead of most of the other international T20 bowlers, Thomas has 263 wickets from 225 matches.

He has played for various South African domestic cricket teams and also stepped foot into the English county, playing for Warwickshire and Somerset. He was initially signed up by Adelaide strikers in the 2011-12 season of the Big Bash league and then shifted to Perth Scorchers the next season.

He took his career best of 4/8 in T20s at the WACA during the match against Melbourne renegades. Thomas's IPL career ended with the Pune warriors and he has not been picked by any other team since then.
