Top 5 cricketers and their New Year's resolutions

1. Virat Kohli

Resolution: To break Kumar Sangakkara's record for most runs in a calendar year

He might just shatter another record

If there's one thing that Virat Kohli can surely achieve in the coming year, it has to be the record of most international runs in a calendar year. The record lies with Kumar Sangakkara at the moment; the Sri Lankan legend amassed as many as 2868 runs back in 2014.

Kohli did come close this year with 2818 runs; as a matter of fact, the Indian stalwart broke his own record that he set in 2017. With the Indian skipper only getting better with every match that he plays, he will fancy his chances to break this coveted record.

Kohli has been in sublime form ever since he took over as India's captain in all three formats of the game. And for a player of his caliber, 2869 runs in an international year should achievable.

With Kohli seemingly intent on continuing his purple patch in 2019, we can expect to see the No. 1 Test batsman in the world shattering numerous batting records.
