John Wisden was an English Cricketer who played 187 First-Class Cricket matches for Three English Country Cricket Teams.  The Teams are Kent, Middlesex and Sussex. He is now best known for launching the eponymous Wisden Cricketer’s Almanack in 1864, the year after he retired from First-Class Cricket.  He was born on 5 September 1826.

Wisden released ‘’Wisden’s T20I Team of the Decade’’  it consists only two players from Indian Cricket Team.  Indian Skipper Virat Kohli and Pace Superhead Jasprit Bumrah are those two players .  The team lead by Australian Batsman Aaron Finch, surprisingly does not have either Mahendra Singh Dhoni or Rohit Sharma.

Kohli, who ranks third in the list of leading run-scorers of all time with 21,444 runs.  Kohli’s average of 53 was the best in the decade, and while his consistency compromises his strike-rate slightly, he is still able to score at a good rate, even if not exceptional.

Bumrah’s overall economy rate of 6.71 is the second-best in the world among quick bowlers, behind Dale Steyn. Bumrah, who has taken 216 wickets, including 51 in T20Is, in his international career so far. His economy rate of 7.27 was the seventh-best in the world, and comfortably the best by a quick bowler, Wisden said.
