#1 Virat Kohli
Was there any doubt? Virat Kohli has been the pillar of Indian batting and has taken the world by storm with some consistent stunning performances over the past few years. He has been the epitome of Indian across all formats in all conditions. The only thing that has eluded him is overseas Test series win as a Captain in SENA(South Africa, England, New Zealand, Australia) countries.
Whenever India plays a bilateral ODI or Test matches, the one common feature at the top of the scoring charts has been none other than Kohli. Such has been his incredible purple patch over the past 5-6 seasons since his career resurgence in the tour Down Under in the year 2012. Apart from the debacle of England 2014, he has not set a foot wrong so far in his blossoming career.
He recently became the fastest to reach 10000 runs in ODI format and also one among few players to score over 2000 runs in a calendar year for 3 consecutive times.
