#1 Virat Kohli
The no.1 in this list is an obvious one. Yes, it is the captain of the Indian cricket team, Virat Kohli. In the first Test itself, Kohli had scored more runs that the entire amount of runs he scored in the whole 2014 England tour.
A troubled back limited his movements in the second Test. As a result, his returns were inadequate in that game. Now, the skipper looks fit ahead of the upcoming game. When all the batsmen struggled against the English bowlers in the first game, Kohli looked comfortable and almost single-handedly won the game for the visitors.
Kohli loves to thrive against pressure. With former players and fans questioning his captaincy and a must-win game ahead, the stage is set for Kohli to prove his credentials once again.
