ICC World T20 2016: Team of the tournament

Virat Kohli

Kohli was the player of the tournament for the second World T20 running

Nobody has scored more than 500 runs in a calendar year in T20Is, but in just the first three months of 2016, Virat Kohli not only achieved that but his tally for the year in T20I currently stands at 625 runs. What is more staggering is that those runs have come at an average of 125 and strike rate of almost 140.

In this tournament, he scored 273 runs in five innings, including three fifties at an average of 136.50, which rightly earned him the Player of the Series award, making it back-to-back such awards for the 27-year-old from Delhi.

Whether it was that fluent, unbeaten fifty against Pakistan at Kolkata, where all the other batsmen found it hard to score runs or that unbeaten 82 against Australia to seal that run chase and secure India's semi-final berth or his unbeaten 89 in the semi-final to help India post a good total, this tournament was one that saw him play some memorable knocks.
