Currently rated as the world’s best batsman, Virat Kohli has enjoyed a stellar couple of years on the field. The 29-year-old has been superb in the limited-overs format and is now second only to the great Sachin Tendulkar in terms of centuries scored in the 50-over format. The Indian captain has a total of 56 international centuries to his name – which includes Virat Kohli Test Centuries – 21 and Virat Kohli ODI Centuries – 35. While has has always been rated as one of the all-time greats to have played the ODI format, Kohli is also quickly developing a reputation as a red-ball great with consistent performances and centuries in the Test arena. He has now well and truly replaced Tendulkar as India’s No.4, taking his all-round game to the next level after taking over the captaincy reigns from MS Dhoni. With Steve Smith suspended owing to the recent ball-tampering scandal and Joe Root going through a lean patch of form, Kohli now has a clear run at becoming the world’s best batsman in all formats and build a dynasty of runs.
