Virat Kohli

Kohl is already an all-time legend at halfway through his career and is the only contender to either equal or break Tendulkar's records of a hundred centuries in international cricket.

In 211 ODIs, Kohli amassed 9,779 runs at an average of 58.21 with 35 centuries and 48 fifties and by the end of 2019 World Cup duels, it won't be a surprise if the 29-year-old shatters some more cricketing records by his cricketing prowess.

#4 Joe Root

England v India - 2nd ODI: Royal London One-Day Series
Joe Root

Root is one of the key reasons why England has been performing so exceedingly well in limited overs cricket. The three-match ODI series that was played between India and England witnessed the 27-year-old getting back on his attacking mode as he took on the visiting unit's bowling attack and smashed back-to-back centuries in the last two contests.

In 116 ODIs he has played till date, Root has amassed 4,800 runs at a jaw-dropping an average of 51.61 with 13 centuries and 28 fifties to his name. With his current run in the white-ball cricket, it seems he will a key player to witness in the World Cup games.

#5 Shoaib Malik

Pakistan v South Africa - ICC Champions Trophy
Shoaib Malik

The veteran of 266 ODIs is someone whose presence in the middle will only add considerable strength to the Pakistani unit.

With 7,015 runs at an average of 35.08 and 156 wickets at an economy of 4.64, Malik, would be a perfect all-rounder for the team to rely upon when under distressing situations.
