#2 Virat Kohli
The current Indian captain has played in 60 Test matches so far, and his batting exploits have already placed him among the best batsmen that India has ever produced. For the majority of his career, he has batted at No. 4. 13 of his 17 Test 100s have been scored in that position, and he averages 55.71 at No. 4, as opposed to his career average of 49.55.
Kohli started batting at this position after Tendulkar's retirement, and in his very first Test in that position, he scored 119 and 96 against South Africa at Johannesburg in 2013.
Kohli is, without doubt, one of the best batsmen in the world at the moment.
