Sportskeeda Cricket Awards 2016: Test batsman of the year

#1 Virat Kohli

A year when Kohli emerged as a prolific Test batsman

Virat Kohli was ruling white ball cricket before this year, and by the end of 2016, he established himself as one of best Test batsmen in the game. This year was a bumper one for the Indian Test captain, both as a skipper and as a batsman.

He is yet to lose a series as a full-time skipper, and this primarily due to the fact that Kohli the batsman has been prolific form right throughout the year. He scored 3 double centuries this year and always appeared to be in the zone.

Indian team is all set to rule the cricketing world and if the form of Virat Kohli remains consistent there is no reason why 2017 could not be another memorable year.
