#2 Virat Kohli
Virat Kohli will in all likelihood continue his extended run of form across formats against the Windies who will now go into the series short of their marquee players and also their coach albeit for first 2 ODIs. This comes as a jolt, especially because Windies are playing the formidable Indians at their own backyard.
There is no opposition in the world that has not conceded to the fact that whenever they play India, they are also playing against a colossus named Virat Kohli who has already amassed 9779 ODI runs.
This run-scoring ability will be seen at a heightened level due to the level of the opposition and the calibre of Virat Kohli. He will look to dethrone the number 1 player from this list after the series ends as he has already amassed 1387 runs against them and needs 186 more runs to become the leading scorer.
