India in South Africa 2018: Watch out for the top 5 Indians

England v India: 2nd Investec Test - Day Five

#1. Virat Kohli

Australia v India - 4th Test: Day 3
Virat Kohli has a batting average of over 50 in all three formatsIndian skipper VIrat Kohli is considered the best batsman in the world today. He has amassed over five thousand runs in Test cricket at an average of 53.75.

He has dominated the bowlers in all parts of the world, with Australia being his favourite destination where he has five centuries to his credit. Though he has played only two games in South Africa, he has an impressive average of 68 with a hundred and a fifty under his belt.

It will be interesting to see Virat Kohli play in South Africa and get the runs. He gets them with such ease that he has dominated all forms of the game. Kohli is the No.1 ranked batsman in ODIs and T20Is while he is just behind Steve Smith in the Test rankings.

A good performance in South Africa will give him a chance to be at the top of all rankings while aiding India to mark a series win in South Africa and pave way to a great away season in 2018.
