#4 Kuldeep Yadav
Another spinner, Kuldeep Yadav, too proved himself under Kohli as he backed him and gave him the freedom to bowl his way in the crucial overs of a game.
It was never easy to replace bowlers like Ravindra Jadeja and Ravi Ashwin. However, Yadav held his nerves in important fixtures and was encouraged completely by his skipper.
He recently emerged as second fastest Indian to take 50 ODI wickets and is likely to be India's lead spinner in the World Cup 2019.
