#1. Virat Kohli
One of the finest batsman of this era, Virat Kohli like many other great players in the yesteryears hasn't done enough justice to his role as a skipper of India. Already a legend in the ODI format, Kohli is on course to break all the records and create new milestones for himself. His attitude to win also reflects in his style of captaincy wherein he tends to attack in most cases.
He led the side in India's 5-1 convincing victory over the Proteas in their own backyard. With World Cup on the cards, Virat would be aware of the challenges not only as a batsman but also as a skipper.
He would love to add the elusive trophy to his cabinet and brush aside the disappointment of the loss of the Champions Trophy Final against Pakistan in 2017.
