This decade has witnessed the emergence of arguably the greatest ODI batsman ever. In Virat Kohli, India has found a champion batsman and a captain who has already become a demi-god in his country. Very few players have scored at as consistent a rate as Kohli. The Indian skipper is currently the only batsman with a 50+ average in all 3 formats of the game.

He was still a raw talent at the start of his decade but as we move forward to the next decade, he is the best ODI batsman in world cricket without a shade of doubt. The class and the ease with which he has dominated opposition bowlers in this format speaks volume about a man who was touted as an arrogant kid when he announced his arrival in international cricket.

Over the last decade, Virat Kohli has played some exceptional knocks and has been a chase master. The 31-year-old right-hander from Delhi has been at the centre of many of India's most famous run chases in the past decade. The modern master has smashed 42 centuries in this decade and is just 6 centuries away from equalling Sachin Tendulkar’s record.
