Innings: 2, Runs: 23, Average: 11.5

A winner in all aspects, best chaser in world cricket, and a highly successful Team India captain, Virat Kohli has been winnings hearts of the fans across the world.

Being a captain who leads from the front, he chose to occupy the No. 4 spot for a while but could not manage it well enough, scoring just 23 runs in two matches.

He would have given himself a little more time had he wanted to, but the leadership group had other plans.

Kohli has often discussed the No. 4 issue openly in a lot of press conferences, and with the World Cup just a year away, he will be keen on fixing this issue in the current England series itself.

In all probability, he can take the mantle upon himself to be India's rock-solid batsman and solve the puzzle that has been unanswered for quite a while now.
