Virat Kohli – First and the obvious choice which comes to our mind is the Test skipper of Indian cricket team, Virat Kohli. Though he hasn’t led Indian team in any of the T20I games till now but he has shown his worth as a T20 skipper in IPL. He has been the driving force behind the success of Royal Challengers Bangalore in Indian Premier League. Under Kohli’s captaincy, RCB qualified for the finals of the T20 league but lost to David Warner-led Sunrisers Hyderabad.
Virat Kohli’s case as a skipper in the shortest format of the game will be backed by his form in 2016 season of IPL as the former U-19 World Cup winning captain smashed 973 runs in the tournament at a batting average of 81.08. Four decorated centuries in the league was something which no one would have imagined of.
And how can one forget his superb form in T20Is in the year 2016? Kohli amassed 641 runs in the year 2016 in T20Is at a batting average of 106.83. He is a sure shot replacement for M.S. Dhoni as a skipper in T20Is as well.
