2. Virat Kohli

There can never be a series where one will not look out for a run machine like Virat Kohli to perform. He has proved to be a match winner in many occasions and has been the most consistent batsman.
However in the entire near perfect career, England has always remained a glitch, especially Jimmy Anderson, who had proven his nemesis in 2014 and will face again this time.
Kohli could do nothing in 2014 and as a result India lost the series 3-1. If India wants to win the series this time, the team would need batsman Kohli more than captain Kohli to come out with all guns blazing.
