2.Virat Kohli

Be it with his elegant batting or his tattoos, Virat Kohli never ceases to amaze the average Indian fan. On Friday, the newly-appointed full-time skipper of the team decided to open the innings with Rahul and had a good start to the spell, smashing a 26-ball 29 to set the tone of the innings.

However, on Sunday Kohli may well be back to his usual Number 3 slot, if India decided to blood young Rishabh Pant onto the international scene and it will be interesting to see if he gets the platform to build upon like he has in the past, while walking in at 3.
