#2 Virat Kohli (Batting Average- 58.20)

England v India - 3rd ODI: Royal London One-Day Series
Virat Kohli is not a surprising name on this list

It is safe to say, Virat Kohli is the greatest batsman of the modern era. With an ability to milk runs irrespective of the format or the bowlers he is up against, he has been on a rampage for the last 6-7 years and looks far from done.

After making his debut in 2008 against Sri Lanka, Kohli has played 211 ODIs so far and has scored 9779 runs at an excellent average of 58.21. He has hit 35 hundreds and 48 fifties.

Many pundits and analysts are already calling him the greatest batsman of all-time, and are expecting him to break all the batting records established by another batting legend- Sachin Tendulkar.
