A decade for batsmen
Jan 07, 2020
Virat Kohli, the Indian run-scoring machine, is the cricketer of the decade.
[...] averaging over 50 in Test cricket, and in all, comfortably finished as the decade's leading international run-getter. True to form (and statistics), he was a near-unanimous pick by our staffers for ESPNcricinfo's men's cricketer of the 2010s, with Smith a not-so-close second. de Villiers finished in third position.
Exactly zero bowlers were contenders for the top three spots. It says a lot about the lack of venom in that department over the past ten years.
