#1 – First batsman in cricket history to average 50-plus in all three formats
Almost every accomplished batsman has had a breakthrough year which propelled him towards the path to glory. For Kohli, 2016 could be that year wherein he finally upped the ante in the game’s traditional format. Be it Tests, ODIs or T20Is, these twelve months have been nothing short of sensational for a batsman who is at the peak of his prowess.
As things stand currently, Kohli has become the first batsman in cricket history to hold a fifty-plus average in all three formats of the game (among those with a decent sample set of at least 10 matches in each format). With Chennai awaiting him for the fifth Test, there is still room for one more abiding memory before 2016 comes to a close.
