Former Indian opening batsman and cricket commentator Aakash Chopra has picked former Pakistani skipper Shahid Khan Afridi as the best T20I all-rounder of 2010s (last decade).

Aakash, 42, took to Twitter to share his picks. He picked Indian skipper Virat Kohli as best batsman; Lasith Malinga of Sri Lanka as best bowler; Shahid Afridi from Pakistan as best all-rounder and Jos Buttler from England as best wicketkeeper.

“Awards for the best in T20i in 2010s (decade) Batsman— Kohli, Bowler— Malinga, All-Rounder—Afridi and Wicketkeeper—Buttler,” he tweeted.

“What’s yours?”, he asked the fans.

Replying to critics, Aakash said that Boom Boom Afridi’s T20I record justifies his pick as best all-rounder.

"You obviously didn’t have a look at his T20 International record in 2010s. The decade. Do yourself a favour and check. Thank me later,” he said.
