Sportskeeda's Test XI of the year

#4 Virat Kohli (Captain)

A memorable year for Virat Kohli

The Indian captain had a dream year in 2016 across formats, and by the end of the year, he established himself as a prominent player in the longest format too.

There were so many occasions when he walked out when his team was in a spot of bother, but then his approach and intensity in the middle took away the game from the opposition.

He notched up 3 triple hundreds in the year, and his form and hunger to score runs never ceased to amaze.

Apart from his prolific run with the bat, he was also inspirational as the captain of the team, and thus he will lead this Test team of the year.
