#1 Best Batsman - Virat Kohli
Team India has one of the strongest batting lineups of the tournament. But considering the unsettled middle order, the team will be greatly dependent on their top 3 - Shikhar Dhawan, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. However, Kohli will be their most important batsman at the World Cup.

The Indian skipper has been in tremendous form in ODI cricket in the last couple of years. He has taken his consistency to a whole new level, scoring centuries for fun. He will have to perform as per his reputation if India want to win the tournament for the third time.
Kohli has scored 587 runs from 17 innings in World Cup. These are decent numbers for any other batsman, but for a player like Kohli, they are mediocre. He will be eager to improve his World Cup stats in England this year.
It will be fascinating to see how Kohli performs as a batsman and as a captain at the mega event.
