Legendary cricketer Virat Kohli is usually known for his astonishing batting prowess and the veteran Ravindra Jadeja is considered one of the greatest all-rounders that this generation of cricketers have seen, many even hail him as the best modern-day all-rounder.

Virat is positioned 10 places higher than his teammate in the official standings.
