Everybody in the region seems to have an opinion on the game irrespective of their age, experience or profession. Some of the players that play the game go on to achieve greatness in the field of play by their sheer hardwork and dedication. The list of such players is a long one with names of legends like Australia’s Sir Donald Bradman, Calypso king Vivian Richards, India’s little masters’ Sunil Gavaskar and Sachin Tendulkar and many more.

Be it international or domestic cricket, this 27-year old sends shivers down the spine of bowlers all around the world. Being a tough competitor, he wears his heart on the sleeve, and has been phenomenal for the last few years. However, 2016 has been extraordinary for the young turk as he amazed a whopping 973 runs apart from scoring four T20 centuries in the recently concluded IPL season. In the international circuit, Kohli has already scored 625 T20 runs at an average of 125 with the help of seven half centuries. He has also racked up two ODI hundreds in just five games this year.
