Best T20I XI of the decade

9. Jasprit Bumrah

For the very reason why we included Babar Azam in our honorary XI, Jasprit Bumrah too makes a cut sheerly for the impact he has managed to have on the game in this time. Already touted as the best death bowler India has produced, Bumrah has won numerous games for the country already while coming in to bowl in the death overs.

Following in his footsteps of idol Lasith Malinga, who also is his teammate in the Mumbai Indians, Bumrah found a great tempo to his bowling. A lot of credit also should be given to his bowling coach Bharat Arun, who has worked very hard on maintaining his mental strength intact for big games.

He picked up 51 wickets in 42 games at a splendid economy of 6.71. He averages just above 20 with the ball and a staggering five maidens in these three years, a feat only bettered by Nuwan Kulasekara among the top-20 wicket-takers this decade. Clearly, he too has his best years coming up in the next decade.
