🤯 Before T20 cricket even existed, Lance "Zulu" Klusener was already playing it!

Rewind to March 31, 1997, at a packed Gqeberha (Port Elizabeth) for the 2nd ODI between South Africa and Australia. With the game on the line, Klusener walked out and unleashed pure chaos—smashing a brutal 27 NOT OUT off just 20 balls in a blistering 23-minute cameo that left the Aussie bowling attack completely stunned.

Watch the absolute fearlessness of one of cricket’s greatest finishers doing what he did best against South Africa's biggest rivals. Is this the most underrated finish in ODI history? Let us know in the comments!
