Top 5 players in limited-overs cricket at present 

#1 Virat Kohli

Mr. Consistent, Mr. Dependable, Mr. Kohli is the best batsman in the world without a doubt. He is a shade above the rest and there was no question about his inclusion on the list. Perhaps one question that pesters people is, whether he is human or not? He scores runs with ease and is a match winner for his team.

The Indian skipper never throws his wicket for cheap and always ensures that the team is in a comfortable position. He is known as the chase master and hardly fails the team while chasing. He is a big game player and has played very well in pressure games barring a couple of them, here and there.

The superstar has scored nearly 12000 runs at an average of more than 50 and boasts of a phenomenal strike-rate. It wouldn't be a surprise if Kohli surpasses Sachin Tendulkar's records by the time he retires, in the ODI format.
