Melbourne: Australia's Ellyse Perry was named as one of the top cricketers this decade by Wisden and this accolade rightly sums up what the all-rounder has managed to do for women's cricket worldwide. Perry features in the list along Virat Kohli (India), Steve Smith (Australia), Dale Steyn and AB de Villiers (South Africa). First, look at the numbers Perry has managed to achieve this decade as they are mind-boggling. In 81 ODIs this decade, Perry has scored 2711 runs at an average of 66.12 and has taken 116 wickets. In T20Is, she has registered 1065 runs and has taken 19 wickets in 102 matches.

And in the longest format, she has played six Tests, in which she has scored 573 runs at an average of 114.60 and has managed to take 26 wickets. Earlier this month, she was also awarded the Rachael Heyhoe-Flint Award for the ICC Women's Cricketer of the Year. The now-famous cricketer has also played football for her country. The 29-year-old went on to make her cricket debut in 2007 as she played an ODI match against New Zealand.
