#1 Rohit Sharma (India)
Ad

Rohit Sharma has seen his stocks rise exponentially after MS Dhoni asked him to open in Champions Trophy 2013. He has since added three Double centuries against his name in ODIs, the first to do so in International Cricket.
This time in absence of Virat Kohli, he will be heading the side and the last ODI series he led his team in, he scored an unbeaten 208 against the visiting Sri Lankans. He will be the goto guy for India in making the big hundreds and winning the matches for the team.
