There's absolutely no doubt that the Indian skipper will walk out after the fall of first wicket. Top-scorer of the Test series, Kohli has been India's best batsman on the tour by quite a margin. A century in the first match and an unbeaten 46 in the second has seen Kohli climb on top of the run-scoring charts for the ODI series as well.
Ajinkya Rahane
A composed 79-run knock in the first match at number four has seen Rahane become the top contender for the much-coveted spot on the Indian ODI batting order. After being overlooked for Rohit Sharma in the first two Test matches, Rahane roared back to form in the third match and has carried that touch to the ODI series as well.
