Key player:

Virat Kohli - The brash, arrogant youngster has matured into one of the most devastating batsmen in modern cricket and a key component of India's World Cup campaign.

The 26-year-old smashed four centuries in the Border-Gavaskar Test series in Australia, where he also scored his first Test century on the previous visit in 2011.

In his outstanding 150-match one-day career, Kohli has already struck 21 hundreds and 33 half-centuries. One of his best one-day knocks was played in Adelaide when he hammered an astonishing 133 not out off 86 balls against Sri Lanka to help India chase down 321 in under 40 overs.

Now the Test captain after Mahendra Singh Dhoni's retirement from the longer format, Kohli will plot India's strategy as Dhoni's deputy at the World Cup.
