The right-handed batsman, since his Test debut, has left a huge mark on the game. Playing 86 Tests so far, Kohli has managed to score 7,240 runs with 27 centuries at an average of 53.62.

He is one of the few active cricketers who have scored runs with an average above 50. Only Marnus Labuschagne and Steve Smith are above him. 

Currently, Kohli is ranked at the top spot in the ICC ODI rankings while he is in the second place in Tests rankings.
