Predicting India's 15-man squad for the T20 World Cup 2020

3. Virat Kohli

There may not be a better all-format player than Virat Kohli in world cricket at the moment. No other player in the history of the game averages in excess of 50 in each of the three formats. Be it Tests, ODIs or T20s, Kohli has consistently churned out runs for India.

In the shortest format, the Indian skipper is the leading run-getter in international cricket. He has amassed 2450 runs at an average of 50 in T20 internationals. Moreover, these runs have come at a strike-rate of 135.28. Hence, despite him not playing fancy strokes, Kohli has the ability to up the ante and score at a rapid pace.

Moreover, Kohli loves the big stage. In World T20s, the Indian captain has scored 777 runs at an average of 86.33. He was the Man of the Tournament in the last two editions – 2014 and 2016. Thus, he will once again be a key player for the ‘Men in Blue’.
