5 Cricketers who missed out in ICC Men’s ODI team of the decade
Leaving out the below-mentioned players would have been tough for the apex cricket board.
4. Ravindra Jadeja (India)
The first entrant from India in this list and a really undervalued asset of the side, Ravindra Jadeja’s exclusion from the ICC Men’s ODI team of the decade, even though may not have been talked about much, is really worth mentioning of, considering the way he has had an impact on the Indian team’s performance as an all-rounder in the past decade.
The highest wicket-taker in one of the biggest wins of the Indian team in recent times, during the ICC Champions Trophy in 2013, Jadeja missing out on making it into this coveted XI, did send ripples in the world of cricket enthusiasts, even though it may not have been talked about in the mainstream.
Jadeja’s numbers in ODI cricket since his debut and the times that they have come in surely added a lot of value to his credentials as a player who was one of the front runners in the race to the ICC Men’s ODI team of the decade.
He has played in 133 ODI matches for India and has done better than many specialist bowlers and batsmen active in the scene, in spite of the fact that he is an all-rounder. He has 1,876 runs to his name and has taken 159 wickets in total, as he continues to amaze the fans and experts with his performance in every passing game, saving India’s cause time and again.
