A playing XI of modern day cricketers that would have beaten Australia's greatest ODI XI

#3 Virat Kohli, the skipper, completes our top order

The audacity with which Virat Kohli has made his runs across formats in the past few years has established him as a modern-day great. His wristy shots combined with nifty footwork make him an exquisite striker of the cricket ball. He is currently the number one ranked ODI batsman. His ODI numbers are a thing to admire as much as his cover drives are. His average of 58 runs per ODI innings combined with a strike-rate of around 92 runs per 100 deliveries makes him too irresistible an option to not be included in our World XI team.

Virat is also the captain of our World XI team. He is one of those few players who can lead from the front and has even done it on several occasions. Recently, he even equalled the ODI record for the highest number of victories after 50 matches of captaincy. His passion and zeal on and off the field are enough to instil in other players a deep desire to win which is the first ingredient in every recipe of victory.
