#3 Virat Kohli

Australia v India - 4th Test: Day 3
The run machine- Virat Kohli.

The only surprise in Virat Kohli appearance in this list is that he is not at the top.

Virat Kohli has played the fewest number of Test innings of anyone in the top 5, with 16. He has scored 1059 Test runs in the calendar year. However, his most impressive statistic is that he scored six 50+ scores this year and has converted five of them into Test hundreds. On top of that he has converted five of them into double hundreds with a highest score of 243 on his home ground Delhi against Sri Lanka.

He has scored his runs at a strike rate of 76.24 - astounding at the Test level.

Virat Kohli has dominated 2017, and would be hoping for similar results in 2018 as India travels to Australia, South Africa and England.
