Best ODI XI of the decade
No decade has been as eventful as this one in ODI history.
7. Shakib Al Hasan
Needless to point out, but Shakib Al Hasan has been the greatest all-rounder of this decade, without a shadow of a doubt. The Bangladeshi stalwart kept amassing runs for fun batting at number 3 and 4 and when it came to his duties with the ball, his 10 overs were more crucial than anyone else.
It is hard to recollect any all-rounder being the best batsman and best bowler in their side and having an impact of these proportions on a country. Shakib’s mind-boggling decade came to a stellar finish in the 2019 World Cup, where he amassed 606 runs with the bat and did a fair enough job with the ball.
Coming to the numbers which could leave you spellbound, Shakib mustered 4276 runs in 131 matches at an average just under 40. This includes 40 scores in excess of 50. He is also the second-highest wicket-taker of this decade, picking up 177 scalps at an average just over 30 and an outstanding economy of 4.72.
