Kohli is the most influential Indian ODI player of the current decade

Former Indian captain Sunil Gavaskar has described Team India captain Virat Kohli as the most influential ODI player of the current decade, saying that Virat has won India a lot of matches while chasing a big target.
Virat made his Indian debut in the year 2008 and has played 251 ODIs for India so far and scored 12,040 runs with 43 centuries. In the recent ODI series against Australia, Virat had broken the record of the fastest cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar, surpassing the record of making the fastest 12 thousand runs in ODI series. Sachin took 300 innings to cross the 12 thousand run mark.

Gavaskar said on the Star Sports program Cricket Connected, "I think if you look at him personally, Virat is the most influential Indian player of the current decade because he has led India to many goals in chasing big goals." He said, "You have to admit that this decade has actually been Virat Kohli as Virat has made the most impact in the matches that India has won."
