#3 Hazratullah Zazai, Peshawar Zalmi

Afghanistan's dashing left-handed opener Hazratullah Zazai took the PSL by storm in his debut game for Peshawar Zalmi. He smashed a brutal 26-ball 63, at a jaw-dropping strike rate of 242.31. In the process, he also recorded the joint-fastest fifty in the history of the PSL (17 balls).

The likes of Hamish Rutherford, Shoaib Malik and Kamran Akmal have also been amongst the runs. However, Zazai can decimate any attack ruthlessly. He lived up to his reputation during debut and is a must pick for your Dream 11 side.
