Best of Virat Kohli: Top moments of India skipper
- 1 / 8
Virat Kohli has made some forgettable and unforgettable memories in the last one year of his cricketing career. What stands out of them all is when India grabbed the number one spot in the ODI rankings after Kohli's side defeated Australia 4-1 in the ODI series in September. Under Kohli's captaincy, India attained the top rank in both Tests as well as ODIs in the last one year. The Indian skipper has dominated in all formats and is currently ranked at the top in the ICC list of ODI as well as T20I batsmen. But it has not been a smooth sail through and through. His fallout with the then coach Anil Kumble and low IPL season dented his rather perfect year. (Source: File)
