Virat Kohli’ skyrocketing average – The year 2016 was Virat Kohli’s dream year with the bat, especially in T20s where he is currently averaging 106.83 in this year. He started the year with three back to back half-centuries against Australia and then went with the flow in T20 World Cup as well. He finished the world cup as the second highest run-scorer with 273 runs in the bank. His innings of 82* against Australia was the highlight of this year as it came at a time when Indian team was stuck in a tricky situation and wanted someone to come up with a match-winning performance. Kohli’s average will shot to another level if his IPL numbers are also included as the Test skipper smashed 973 runs with four centuries to his name. It was a brilliant year for Virat Kohli as everything he touched this year turned into gold.
