You can display grouped list items count in the list-header using the group header template. Refer to the following code sample to display grouped list item count.

index.js
index.html
var template = '<div class="e-list-wrapper e-list-multi-line e-list-avatar">' +
    '<img class="e-avatar e-avatar-circle" src=${image} style="background:#BCBCBC" />' +
    '<span class="e-list-item-header">${Name}</span>' +
    '<span class="e-list-content">${contact}</span>' +
    '</div>';

    //Define an array of JSON data
    var dataSource = [
