Well, the trio is definitely some of the most sought after batsmen in the world at the moment. Kohli is arguably the best batsman in the world at the moment.

At just 29, he has already slammed 57 international tons and 83 fifties including six double centuries in Tests. He is the second leading centurion in ODIs and is on the verge of reaching 10,000 ODI runs.

Earlier this month, Kohli became the No.1 ranked Test batsman in the ICC rankings for batsmen, after his 149 and 51 in the first Test at Edgbaston. The India skipper became the seventh India batsman and first since Sachin Tendulkar in June 2011, to top the rankings.

On the other hand, Azam has become the batting mainstay of Pakistan team.  In just 44 ODIs, he has smashed 8 tons and 7 fifties to score close to 2,000 runs at an average of over 54.

Similarly, Root is also one of the best batsmen in the world at the moment.He became the England Test skipper at just 26 and has done exceedingly well with the bat.

He averages more than 50 in both Tests and ODIs, thus amassing over 10,000 runs with the help of 26 centuries and 69 fifties.
