#1 Virat Kohli

It doesn't matter which team you are playing against or in which country you are playing. If you have Virat Kohli in your squad, then he is the most vital player in your team. Ever since the start of this year, Virat Kohli has been the best batsmen across all the formats of cricket.
He tore through the South African bowling in January and then, despite the poor outing for Royal Challengers Bangalore, played at his very best in IPL as well. England has not usually been too good a territory for Kohli, and he will be looking to prove his mantle during that three-month tour.
Not only this, Kohli has the extra burden of leading the team. Kohli struggled big time during India's previous tour to England, but a lot has changed since then. Kohli is among the top-rated batsmen in all the formats of the game and has lead India superbly in the past 12 years.
In order to achieve unprecedented success in England this time, Kohli has to forget his past demons in England, show some confidence in himself and his team and play the best cricket of his life.
