Virat Kohli

Virat Kohli, the run-scoring machine, has been an integral part of India’s last two World Cup campaigns. In 2011, a young Kohli played second fiddle to established stalwarts like Sachin, Sehwag, Yuvraj and Dhoni but scored some useful knocks to make a mark of his own. Kohli scored his maiden world cup ton against Bangladesh and rounded off with a gritty 35-run knock against Sri Lanka in the finals which laid the foundation of India’s successful run chase.

In the 2015 World Cup, Kohli scored a stellar ton against Pakistan to help India maintain its unbeaten record against the arch-rivals at the showpiece event. He chipped in with valuable knocks all through India's run to the semifinals against Australia. Kohli shall once again be key to India’s batting fortunes in the 2019 World Cup at England.
