Most likely ICC World Test XI 2016-17

#4 Virat Kohli (captain)

Kohli has churned out runs at will against all oppositions this season

There are not many words to describe Virat Kohli. After being appointed captain, he has churned out mountains of runs against all sides. With 1413 runs at an astounding average of 64.33 alongside three double centuries, he has made this No.4 spot his own.

Despite not having the best series against Australia, he came back strongly against Sri Lanka. He is showing no signs of stopping as he ended 2017 with three back-to-back centuries including two double centuries. With him in full flow, these are only danger signs for South Africa for their upcoming series against India.
