Virat Kohli's batting will be an 'X-factor' for the Indian team at this World Cup. The Indian skipper is in some form and featured in the top run-getters of the 2019 IPL and made good starts in the two warm-up games leading to the World Cup.

The Indian skipper is one of India's most consistent batsmen in the ODI format, underlined by his stunning average of 59.58 in ODI cricket. The captain hardly fails to impress with the bat and coupled with his hunger to score runs and win matches for the team, Kohli can be expected to have a great run in this tournament.

Currently, ex-Indian skipper Sourav Ganguly holds the record for the most number of a centuries in a single edition with the three tons he scored back in 2003. This year, with India scheduled to play nine league stage matches and a probability to feature in the knockout stages, Virat Kohli could be backed to break the 16-year old record.
