#1 Virat Kohli
The Indian skipper, Virat Kohli has had a couple of fantastic years. In 2016 and 2017, he has started converting hundreds into double-hundreds. He continued his fine form in 2018 too.
So far, he has played three Tests in 2018 and scored 286 runs at an average of 47.66 with the best knock of 153. The way he goes about his business in the middle in Test match cricket is simply remarkable.
He tries to settle in before hit the ball in the air and has the ability to rotate the strike. Arguably, Kohli will be important at number four in the upcoming series. Apart from batting, his captaincy will play an important role in this series.
