Top 10 T20I Teams and Their First T20I Centurions

#5 South Africa - Richard Levi 117* (51) vs New Zealand, 2012

South Africa v New Zealand T20

Richard Levi burst onto the international cricket with a magnificent century in the early stages of his T20I career. Levi demolished the New Zealand bowling attack chasing a target of 174 in a T20I match at Hamilton. The South African opener played like a one-man army as he did not get enough support from the other end. But that did not stop Levi as he hit 5 fours and 13 sixes to become the first South African to score a T20I hundred.

The Man of the match Levi scored 117 out of the required 174 runs and inspired the Proteas to an eight-wicket win with 4 overs to spare. He even earned an IPL contract with Mumbai Indians that year but failed to repeat his magic. The South African team management have ignored Levi since December 2012 due to his constant failures.
