Most of the fans in the present generation would pick Sachin Tendulkar or MS Dhoni for the kind of impact they have had on Indian cricket.

Virat Kohli has regularly drawn comparisons with Sachin Tendulkar and rightly so. The right-hander has already scored 43 centuries in One-Day Internationals (ODIs) and is second only to Tendulkar who has an unbelievable 49 centuries to his name. Virat Kohli has also been the highest ODI run-scorer in this decade, and by looking at the way he is going, it seems like the Indian captain is not going to slow down anytime soon.

In fact, when it comes to captaincy, the 31-year-old has achieved incredible success in all three formats. Virat Kohli hasn’t lost a Test and ODI series at home as a captain and that defines how dominant he has been with his batting as well as his leadership.
