#2 Virat Kohli
Virat Kohli is a superstar of cricket and has several records to his name. At present, he is arguably one of the best batsman in the world and serves up a batting clinic whenever he gets an opportunity.
The World T20 is a year away and there will be huge responsibility on Kohli's shoulders, not just as a batsman but also as the captain of the side. Hence, the skipper would like to try out a few youngsters in the team and nourish them for the big occasion.
Virat performed decently in his last T20 series against West Indies. He scored one-half century in the three-match series and averaged 35.33.
However, the Indian captain doesn't enjoy a great record against the Proteas in T20Is. He has scored 173 runs in 8 matches at an average of 28.83 against them.
Thus, Kohli would like to start the home season with a bang and a series win against South Africa will certainly boost the team's confidence.
