#4 Virat Kohli
Virat Kohli has been playing cricket on a different level for the last 6-7 years. The Indian skipper scored 1460 runs in 2017 with a staggering average of 76.84, and the story this year seems to be no different.
Though he is number 4 on this list, he is without a doubt, the best player this year so far, as he has already scored 749 runs in only 9 innings.
He has scored 3 centuries and 3 half-centuries in 9 innings, and was also the Man of the Series in the 6-match ODI series against South Africa after scoring 558 runs in 6 innings at an average of 186. He is called the superman of cricket for a reason.
