Best T20I XI of the decade

4. Babar Azam

Babar Azam is still relatively new to the industry, but what he has achieved in this short span of time wins him a position in the playing XI. Perhaps one of the best white-ball players in the last three years, Babar Azam found a level of consistency in this format which was seen only in Virat Kohli. The youngster still has better days coming up and could do wonders in the next decade.

One of the best things about his batting is that he tries to keep things simple and goes for the shots which are well in his radar, rather than just lofting hopelessly and expecting his muscle power to take the ball over the stands. Some believe he can work on his big hitting a little more, but is expected to learn that with time, just the way Kohli did.

In the 36 games he has played since making his debut in 2016, Azam scored 1,405 runs at an average second only to Virat Kohli among batsmen with than 1000 runs to his credit (50.17). He mustered 12 half-centuries with the best score of 97, a hundred is long overdue for the youngster and surely, he has that coming up in the next decade.
