Top 5 "beards that are feared" in world cricket

5) Virat Kohli

Silencing the opposition supporters has become Kohli’s hobby over the times

One won’t be taken aback if cricket pundits and other cricket fanatics from around the globe have already run out of objectives portraying this gem of a batsman from India. A player worth envying for the strongest of oppositions.

Haemorrhaging runs at will is bread and butter for the Indian batting stalwart. Opponents have turned no stones down in halting Kohli’s belligerence only to fall right on their faces.

The word ‘satisfaction’ doesn’t exist in his dictionary and piling on runs only adds to his hunger of attaining greater heights.

Apart from batting, his Test captaincy tenure has been fruitful too. Even though just 13 Tests old, Kohli enjoys a great winning percentage of 50.00 by an Indian captain with series wins against the likes of South Africa, Sri Lanka and West Indies.

Captaincy duty rubbed off positively on his batting too. His batting average isn’t all that bad with 45.06 in Tests and the recent double hundred versus the West Indies being the latest feather in his cap. With MS Dhoni in the twilight of his career, Kohli is expected to take over the mantle from him and rightly so considering his smooth run.
