Virat Kohli's Team India out to script history in Australia

Virat Kohli is the best batsman in the world. There is no debate as far as that is concerned.

Scoring runs and breaking records for fun, the Indian captain has redefined batting in modern times. Yet the upcoming tour of Australia will not only be a challenge for Kohli 'the batsman', but also Kohli the captain.

He can achieve what no other Indian captain ever has - win a Test series in Australia. It may in fact be India's best ever chance of breaking the hoodoo, as the Aussie's haven't been 'themselves' ever since the ball-tampering scandal broke out earlier in the year.

Kohli has scored 992 runs in 8 matches, including five hundreds at an astounding average of 62.

In ODIs too, Kohli has scored 476 runs from 12 matches, including 2 centuries at an average of 43.27, and in T20Is 252 runs from five matches. His partner at the top, Shikhar Dhawan, who has not been dropped from the Test team, will be eager to show his class in limited overs cricket. He has after all 342 runs from 8 ODIs.
