Best ODI XI of the decade
No decade has been as eventful as this one in ODI history.
8. Lasith Malinga
Among all the fast bowlers, the limited-overs belonged to Lasith Malinga. He ended up topping the wicket-taking charts in T20Is and ODIs and is the only cricketer to have taken more than 200 wickets in this decade. He seemed to have lost his touch in the last couple of years but still kept churning out some decent performances for his side.
The legend of Lasith Malinga was at its lethal best in the 2011 World Cup, where he picked up 13 crucial wickets. The fast bowler was unfortunate to not have the best of support after Nuwan Kulasekara lost his touch and on most occasions, he had to do the job all by himself to keep Sri Lanka alive.
Malinga played more matches than any other bowler mentioned in this list. In 162 games, he picked up a whopping 248 wickets at an average just under 30. He also has an impressive economy of 5.46 and picked up a staggering 8 five-wicket hauls.
