#1 Virat Kohli
Virat Kohli has emerged as the monarch of all that he has surveyed this decade. The batting maestro has dismantled bowling attacks across the world with stunning regularity, and is already considered by many as one of the greatest batsmen of all time.
The numbers generated by Kohli this decade send the mind into a tizzy. In the 224 matches that the batting maestro has played, he has scored 11036 runs, including a whopping 42 hundreds and 51 fifties. That means he has crossed the 50-run mark 93 times in this decade alone.
Kohli has also broken a plethora of records in this period, including becoming the fastest to 10000 runs in ODIs, notching up the highest number of centuries in chases and scoring the most runs by an Indian batsman in a bilateral ODI series.
Kohli still has several years ahead of him, and if he can continue in the same vein he will likely go past most of Sachin Tendulkar’s big ticket records.
