Well, despite being on the headlines for all the wrong reasons in the recent past, the Indian National Team skipper Virat Kohli will enter into the ICC World Cup 2019 on a positive note. The flamboyant batsman Virat Kohli will enter into the grand event as the best batsman in the world, as per ICC ODI Rankings.

The Indian team will enter into the World Cup with a number 1 batsman Virat Kohli and the number one bowler Jasprit Bumrah. The duo will enter into the tournament as the best cricketers as per the ICC ODI rankings.

The second position in the batting chart is also acquired by an Indian batsman, as Rohit Sharma dominated things in the last couple of years. Following Rohit Sharma, New Zealand’s Ross Taylor will enter the tournament as a 3-ranked batsman.
