Best T20I XI of the decade

6. Glenn Maxwell

Like him or hate him but you cannot ignore the quality Glenn Maxwell brings to the side. One of the cleanest and hardest strikers of the cricketer ball, Glenn Maxwell has stood up to his reputation as one of the best in the shortest format despite having some bad patches without runs in between. He also tried opening in a few games, which worked out well on occasions.

Maxwell burst into the international scene in 2012 and played some vital knocks in the 2014 World T20. Yet, the biggest disappoint for him would be to not contribute anything significant in both the World T20s he was a part of. He struggled with his timing and temperament on the field and also had some mental issues to deal with off the field. But every time he went out, he came back stronger.

Maxwell played 61 games thus far in his career and has scored 1,576 runs at an average in excess of 35. He registered three centuries in this span and ensured his strike-rate never dipped under the 160 mark. Also, he got dismissed for a duck only once in his career, best among all the names mentioned in this list.
