1) Virat Kohli
It was to be his Baptism By Fire if he was to be touted as the Greatest Batsman of his generation and boy did he deliver. He did it in style after scoring 149 and 51 in the 1st Test match of ongoing India in England test series,2018.
In his very first Test innings on the English Soil after that aberration of a tour in 2014, he scored more than he had scored in the entire 2014 tour. He followed his knock of 149 runs with 51 runs in the second innings of the first Test but could not close the game for his country.
Virat Kohli, a man on a mission to make this team the best travelling team in the world did not disappoint as in the 3rd Test as he scored 97 runs in the first innings and backed it up with an even better performance of 103 runs to help Indian win the game. He came back even harder on the ICC rating table to beat his highest achieved rating in the first Test.
