Top 5 Indian ODI batsmen of all time

#2 Virat Kohli

Matches: 211, Runs: 9779, Highest Score: 183, Average: 58.20, Centuries: 35

The best One Day batsman of the present era and arguably one of the greatest ODI batsman of all time, Virat Kohli is already a legend of the game, at the prime age of 29.

He has been the most prolific run scorer, that the game has ever seen. In only 211 matches, he has already amassed more than 9500 runs at an astounding average of 58.2 runs per innings.

He has already scored 35 ODI hundreds and looks set to break Sachin's record of 49 hundreds in ODIs, by the time he hangs up his boots. He has been India's biggest match-winner in ODIs, in the last decade. His ability to chase down stiff targets by scoring big hundreds, makes him unique.

His hunger to score runs and his never say die attitude is exemplary. As a result of this, he has become a role model, for even the other players of the team. Virat Kohli is truly a sensation and a 'once in a generation' cricketer.
