2. Lance Klusener (South Africa)
Former South African cricketer Lance Klusener was among the deadliest all-rounders of his time and one of the most explosive batsmen, too. Other than almost carrying his team to their maiden World Cup final, Klusener has a lot of achievements in his career to be proud of.
Nicknamed Zulu, his ability to hit the ball reflected right from his baseball-like batting stance. Klusener held his super-heavy bat almost as high as his head as he prepared to face the ball and that allowed him to swing it like a club when the ball arrived.
Although Lance Klusener’s backlift helped him achieve a lot of success, particularly in limited-overs cricket, it often proved to be a hindrance for him on slower pitches with low bounce.
