Rating 10 best ODI bowlers of the decade

Saeed Ajmal – 7/10

Saeed Ajmal may have been forgotten in the recent past but the impact he used to have was excellent. He was Pakistan’s premier spinner across formats. Ajmal made his debut in 2009 and bamboozled opposition batsmen for a few years.

In fact, Ajmal played only till 2015 and yet, he is eighth on the list of most wickets for a bowler in this decade. The mystery spinner took 157 wickets in 91 games. He had an average of 21.90 which is the fourth-best in the 2010s-decade. His economy rate was excellent too – 4.24.

Batsmen struggled to pick him and he was on top of them most of the times. However, his action was deemed illegal and had to remodel his action. But he wasn’t effective and faded away.
