#2 Virat Kohli

The only batsman who could be India’s X factor with the bat is none other than the world’s best batsman at the moment, Virat Kohli. The World Cup 2019 will be Virat Kohli’s first World Cup as the captain of the side. It would be interesting to see whether Virat can lead to India’s 3rd and his 1st world cup win as the team captain or no.
Individually, Virat has been the best batsmen in the world when it comes to ODIs. He is currently at the first position in ICC Men’s ODI rankings which clearly shows his tremendous form in the 50-over format. He would be trying to maintain this rank by performing well in the upcoming mega event of ICC.
