India have a 57% winning percentage in Test matches under Virat Kohli and he recently surpassed Sourav Ganguly for the highest wins in overseas Tests as a captain and has also helped the team to seal the No. 1 ranking in Tests. Under his captaincy, India also had an excellent home season in 2017-18.

India have a 75% win percentage in ODIs under Kohli and has a 63% winning percentage in T20Is. With a very short career as captain, he has led from the front both as a batsman and as a cricketer.

With all these qualities put together and the fact that he still has many more years of his cricketing career left, Virat Kohli is without a doubt the best player in the world.
