Current top 10 batsmen and their most feared bowlers

1. Virat Kohli

The numbers that he has generated speak for themselves. He is the fastest batsman to breach the 10000-run barrier in ODI cricket, and got there 54 innings quicker than the iconic Sachin Tendulkar. He is the only Indian batsman who has scored seven double centuries in Tests and has already scored a mind numbing 70 centuries in international cricket.

Virat Kohli has ruled every format of the game that he has played in. The Indian batting icon has already scored over 21000 runs in international cricket. He averages over 50 in all three formats of the game and has lorded over several bowling attacks during his illustrious career.

And, according to Kohli, the toughest bowler he has faced is Mohammad Amir. And, these are Kohli’s thoughts on the Pakistani pacer.

“In recent times, Mohammad Amir of Pakistan (is the hardest to face). He is in the top two or three bowlers in the world and one of the toughest bowlers I have played in my career. You have to be on your ‘A’ Game when you’re facing him or he will strike. Outstanding. A very good bowler.”

Kohli will lead India’s charge with the bat in the challenging tour of Australia later this month. The Indian skipper would return back to India after the end of the first Test for the birth of his child.
