1. Virat Kohli (India)

Top 10 Best Test Batsmen in 2016Kohli had the best year of his life as far as Test cricket is concerned. Under his able leadership, India didn’t lose a single Test in 2016. But here we will be focusing on Kohli the batsman, who smashed three-double tons in 2016. The right-hander made his maiden 200 against West Indies though overall, he had an average outing in the Caribbean. But Kohli made a robust comeback with another double-ton, this time, New Zealand turned his prey.

However, he saved his best for India’s biggest challengers– England. And in 8 innings against the tourists, Kohli marched his way to 655 runs at 109.16. In the first Test at Rajkot, he played a patient knock on the last day to save the Test for India. In Visakhapatnam, he played match-winning knocks of 167 and 81, especially the second innings was a gem. He made another important 80-odd runs in Mohali and unleashed his career-best of 235 at Wankhede to hand over India their best series win in the last 18 months.

Overall, Virat scored 1,215 runs at an average of 75.93 in 2016.
