#1 Virat Kohli
The run machine will be the biggest threat for the Proteas, and if he gets a big one, India should easily reach the 200 mark. Getting big scores has become a routine for him, and the kind of form he has been in, even a fifty is considered a failure.
His knock in the 6th ODI was unlike the Virat we are used to seeing, dominating right from ball one and playing with a lot of freedom. He didn't allow the bowlers to settle down and played as if he had a flight to catch. With 3 T20Is to go in the tour, these are ominous signs for the hosts.
With no T20 hundreds under his belt, he'll be eyeing one for sure at the Bull Ring, especially with the kind of form he has been in.
