#4 - Virat Kohli
Virat Kohli, the youngest member of the World Cup winning squad of 2011, has gone on to become arguably the best player and unarguably the biggest cricketing celebrity in the world.
In both limited overs and Test matches, he has plundered record after record and has firmly cemented himself as one of the greatest players in cricketing history. Further, despite being branded as a brash, irresponsible individual early on in his career, he has gone on to become a youth icon of India and has inspired people around the globe.
Handed the Test captaincy in 2015 and the limited overs captaincy in 2017, he currently serves as the captain of the Indian Cricket Team and has led the team in one of its most successful phases. Further, he has been a consistent figure in the IPL, leading the Royal Challengers Bangalore and performing well on a personal front every season.
