Be it their historic triumph over England in the 2011 World Cup, or their inspired performance against Pakistan in their maiden Test match, Kevin O'Brien has always been a stand-out performer for Ireland in its most important games through the years.

Now, as they face off against India before their home crowd after 11 years, the 34-year-old will be the vital cog to their success yet again. On his day, this right-handed batsman can terrorize any bowling attack in the world, grabbing the game by the scruff of its neck with this terrific strokeplay.

Kohli and Co. will be definitely wary of him ahead of the series, more so after the impeccable century he hit against Pakistan in white flannels earlier this month.
