Best T20I XI of the decade

10. Rashid Khan

We talked so much about the art of leg-spin being under the scrutiny when the format was introduced, but some class legspinners like Rashid Khan, Yuzvendra Chahal, Imran Tahir, Amit Mishra, Shahid Afridi and Samuel Badree went against the odds and established wrist spin as one of the most lethal sources of wickets in this format.

Rashid Khan might not have played a considerable number of times against the bigger opponents, which might make his stats look better, but without debate, he deserves a spot on this XI. His ability to keep things clean and tight till the very end has been commended by everyone from the fraternity who has seen him play.

Rashid also is the highest wicket-taker of this decade, picking up 84 wickets in 45 games. He did this at an outrageous average of 12.52 and an economy as staggering as 6.15. He represented the country once in the World T20 among the big tournaments of this format and clearly has huge ambitions for the next edition.
