2) Virat Kohli - Call him King Run Machine or Chase Master. Kohli has executed each name differently. Kohli became the first batsman in the world to score 50 ODI centuries.

Kohli scored 117 runs in 113 balls with the help of 9 fours and two sixes. Kohli made many records in his name. He played an important role in taking India to a huge score.

Gill gave a strong start to India by forming a brilliant partnership with Rohit-Virat. He remained unbeaten after scoring 80 runs in 66 balls with the help of 8 fours and three sixes.
5) KL Rahul - If you are thinking that Rohit Sharma should have been kept at this number, then you would not be wrong, but Rahul also had an amazing performance in fielding, due to which he could make a place in this list.
