#3 Virat Kohli
The current captain of the Indian Test side and perhaps the best batsman in the modern era, Virat is the new face of Indian cricket. His growth in the game is one heck of a story.
The fact that he is leading India in Tests is huge as many aspiring cricketers dream of just being able to get selected in the Test side. Not only Tests, he is a certainty to be the captain in ODIs as well as T20s once Dhoni hangs his boots.
He has been regarded by many greats of the game as the finest of the modern generation. At the age of 27, he has done wonders that fans compare him to the likes of Sachin Tendulkar and consider him to be the one who can get anywhere close to the records of the master.
His attitude towards the game is like no one else, very passionate and never ready to give up. The right-hander is already a legend of the game and if he keeps going like this, he will end up as one of the greats of the game.
