Best XI from the World Cup-winning teams this decade
We saw three different World champions in this decade (50 over World Cups) - MS Dhoni's India in 2011, Michael Clarke's Australia in 2015 and Eoin Morgan's England in 2019.
10. Jofra Archer
There was so much pressure on the board while they had to make a final call between David Willey and Jofra Archer for a place in the World Cup squad. Willey was harshly kept aside, but everyone knew it was for the team’s benefit as Archer brought in an X-Factor to the side. Indeed, that was the match-winner for England.
Archer bowled the super-over in the final and did the job for his side, despite conceding a six and taking things a wee bit too close. But throughout the tournament, Archer kept making headlines with his deadly bouncers, reminiscing people of the great bowlers from the 80s.
He ended up picking 20 wickets in the tournament at an average of 23.05 and some of those include wickets which turned the complexion of the game on its head. He couldn’t have asked for a better start to his international career and showed his exploits even in the Ashes that followed.
