5. Virat Kohli
Virat Kohli has been India’s run-scoring machine in the limited-overs arena for a considerable time period. Kohli has earned his reputation of being the best with willow, scoring heaps of runs with staggering consistency against quality bowling attacks. His ability to score daddy hundreds in chasing down herculean targets puts him in a league of his own. He makes his starts count and his 50 to 100 conversion ratio in ODIs is perhaps the best in world cricket.
Pace or spin, home or abroad, Kohli has successfully been able to dominate attacks and win India many matches with his stellar knocks. With just under 10000 ODI runs and 35 tons, Kohli stands tall among the all-time greats and has a realistic chance to get closer or even break Sachin Tendulkar’s record of most runs in ODI cricket.
