One need not look any further than Kohli's eyes to find them burning in hunger. He is always on the lookout for converting opportunities, be it while batting and searching for scoring opportunities, while setting fields and traps for opposition batsmen or while replying to a heated on-field argument.

He has amassed a staggering 9779 ODI runs at a second to none average of 58.21 and 6000 Test runs at an average of 55. Having scored 35 ODI centuries he is already second on the all-time list and with 58 international tons, it will not be fantastical to believe that he can challenge Sachin Tendulkar's century of centuries.

"I could always see the hunger and the fire in his eyes. The best part about him is that the moment he realizes there are areas he needs to work on he is immediately back in the nets working on those things", Tendulkar recently said of Kohli.

A ruthless competitor, he leaves no opportunity of achieving convincing victories. In his bid to make India the number one team across formats, Virat is certainly on track as his team has been defeating one opponent after another.
