10 individual cricket peaks in recent times

To put it in simple words, Virat Kohli is in a zone of his own at the moment. He has achieved seemingly unassailable heights in the last few years, doing enough to draw comparisons with the once untouched Sachin Tendulkar.

Kohli almost single-handedly took Royal Challengers Bangalore to their maiden title this season, but just before that, he played some mind-boggling innings in the World T20, which ended in another heartbreak, this time in a semi-final loss to West Indies.

He has already scored 625 runs in 13 T20I matches, at an average of 125 and a strike rate of almost 140. Seven of his 16 T20I half-centuries have been scored this year. He has also scored at an average of 76 in five ODIs, with two centuries already to his name.
