Best T20I XI of the decade

5. Eoin Morgan (C)

Not many will keep talking on how good a decade it has been for Eoin Morgan, especially after the way they won the World Cup final a few months back. But none can deny he led a revolution in English cricket which will be revered and remembered for a long time to come. Morgan will be captaining this coveted unit after all the success England had this decade, despite not winning a trophy.

It was important for someone to lift England out of their ruins and Andrew Strauss found a more than capable leader in the Irish born cricketer and the rest, as they say, is history. He came to bat in the middle order and played some fantastic knocks under pressure as well, ensuring that “leading from the front” concept was upheld.

In 83 games for the country in this format, Morgan scored 1901 runs at strike-rate nearly touching 135. For a batsman who plays predominantly in the middle order and gets to play less than 10 overs on most occasions, the English skipper has done a fine job. He also led the side to a World T20 final finish, which they, unfortunately, couldn’t win.
