Virat Kohli Looks Set to End 2017 as Most Prolific Batsman

Written by Shreyas Vyas

Team India’s skipper Virat Kohli has had yet another prolific year as a batsman, and currently enjoys a sizable lead over his closest rivals in terms of runs scored across all formats.

Kohli currently has 2208 runs under his belt from 47 innings at an average of nearly 60. Only England’s Test captain Joe Root has a higher average than the Indian captain. South African run machine Hashim Amla is on the second position with 2073 runs in the year so far.

Kohli, though, will be hoping to improve his numbers in Test cricket though, as a below-par showing in the series against Australia means he has just 449 Test runs at an average of 44.90 this year.

Thus, the upcoming Test series against Sri Lanka will be one to watch out for as Virat Kohli looks to continue his dominant showing at the international stage.
