India vs West Indies 2016: Combined XI

#4 Virat Kohli

Arguably the greatest batsman of this generation, Virat Kohli comes in at No 4 and there is simply no competition for this spot. After Sachin’s retirement, he has made the No. 4 position his own. He certainly has the ability to break all kinds of batting records in the near future.

His first test century came against Australia in the year 2012 in Adelaide. He went on to score 4 centuries in 4 tests in their subsequent tour to Australia in the year 2015.

"Kohli is the next chosen one. He exudes the intensity of Dravid, the audacity of Sehwag, and the extraordinary range of Tendulkar. That doesn't make him better, simply sui generis, his own unique kind." This is what Martin Crowe had to say about the young sensation who had already achieved a lot in cricket at the age of 27.

Virat will also captain the combined playing XI.
