2018 Player Ratings for India in ODIs

#3 Virat Kohli- 10/10

The show stealer of 2018 ODIs

Matches- 14, Runs- 1202, Average- 133.56, 100s-6, 50s- 3, HS- 160*

2018 can be called as the best year for Virat Kohli in ODIs as on one hand he scored runs at a majestic average of 133.56, and on the other, team India won 75% of their matches with him at the helm as captain. Kohli performed in each and every series that India played. He was the top-scorer in every bilateral series for India.

The Indian captain was the top-scorer in 2018 with 1202 runs. This is his fourth best in a calendar year but on the other occasions, he played twice or thrice the number of matches he played in 2018.

His highest score in a calendar year is 1460 runs (in 2017) but it took him 26 matches to achieve so many runs. If Kohli had played the Asia Cup, he would have most certainly surpassed 1460 runs mark in 2018.

Scoring at an average of 133.56 runs proves how good 2018 was for Virat Kohli and how stunning his performance was. The 30-year-old played a major role in every match he played for his team and has always been a big reason in India's wins.
