#1 Virat Kohli
Who else could be on top of this list? There is no doubt about who is the best player in the world. Virat Kohli can easily win matches on his own and a bad day for him is a bad day for India, on most days. The Indian skipper is always in great form and there is no bowler who can stop him from scoring runs on his day. He scores runs for fun and carries the Indian team.

The Delhi born batsman has amassed 35 hundreds in the 50 over format and it is very likely that he will break Sachin Tendulkar's record of 49 hundreds. The sensational batsman has scored a whopping 2209 runs in 35 innings at a strike rate of 98.44 and has a superb average of 88.38. Those stats just prove why he is the best batsman in the world.
Honourable mentions: Kane Williamson, Hashim Amla, Martin Guptill, Babar Azam and Tamim Iqbal
