Virat Kohli is the top ranked batsman on this list and this doesn't come as a surprise to anyone. The Indian captain was on fire this year across all formats. Kohli scored an unmatched 1202 runs in just 14 ODIs at an unbelievable average of 133.55 with six tons. He pretty much scored against all teams and singlehandedly demolished South Africa in South Africa by scoring 558 runs in 6 ODIs.
