Rahul Chaudhari and Virat Kohli

Consistently prolific but neither have won their respective domestic tournaments (PKL or IPL)

When it comes to being a prolific run-getter, there aren't many better than Virat Kohli. The 28-year-old has redefined what it is to be consistent. Whether it is managing to close to 1,000 runs in a single edition of the IPL with four centuries or averaging in excess of 50 in T20Is, Kohli has been Mr. consistent across all formats and irrespective of the team that he has been playing for.

Currently the captain of the Telugu Titans, Rahul Chaudhari has been the best player in the history of the Pro Kabaddi League. He finished the 2016 season with an incredible 146 points, the most by any player in that season and no player has scored more raid points than him in the history of the PKL (700 and counting). Much like Kohli has been in the IPL, Chaudhari has been the epitome of consistency, racking in the points and leading by example. However, neither player has been able to win their respective domestic tournament (PKL or IPL).

They are both the poster boys for their respective sport and are one of the most marketable as well. While Chaudhari was part of India's victorious 2016 World Cup campaign, Kohli, has been as well (in 2011). Both have the ability to win a game on their own and both look set to break many more records before they call time on their respective careers.
