Current World XI in ODI Cricket

#3 Virat Kohli (India)

Virat Kohli

Virat Kohli is an Indian international cricketer who currently captains the India national team. An elegant right-handed batsman, Kohli is regarded as one of the best batsmen in the world

Virat Kohli is the best in the business across all formats, especially in the ODI format. He is currently ranked no.1 in ODI cricket and is believed to be the best chaser the world has ever seen by many cricketing pundits.

The great thing about his batting is that he can adapt his batting according to the situation i.e he can accelerate the innings from the very first ball once the top-order provide a flying start and he can also look to build the innings if early wicket(s) has fallen.

Virat is adept in scoring at around six an over during the middle overs without taking too many risks and setting the foundation for the finishers of his respective teams so that they can take advantage of the death overs without the fear of getting bowled out before their quota of allocated 50 overs.

In 211 matches for India, Virat has scored 9,779 at an average of 58.21 and a strike rate 92.12.

He definitely deserves his place at number 3 in this team.
