- Virat Kohli (c):
Kohli has been piling up centuries for fun off late and he began 2017 on a similar note with yet another century in a successful run-chase. Despite having a few reputed names around, Kohli is still the spine of India’s batting, and if the hosts are to wrap the series up at Cuttack itself, the Indian skipper will have to come good. Fielding wise however, Kohli needs to be a little more cautious as he fumbled in the outfield on a couple of occasions.
