Virat Kohli has been presented as the latest cover star of Wisden Cricketers' Almanack.
According to Wisden's editor, "Kohli, who made two centuries in India's 4-0 Test series win before Christmas, including a career-best 235 in the fourth Test at Mumbai, is pictured playing a reverse sweep - a reflection.
Lawrence Booth as per the sources news told, "It underlines the fact that he is a very modern cricketer". "It felt like the right time to get some unorthodox onto the cover. People often think of Wisden as a bastion of orthodoxy, but cricket is changing so rapidly that it felt like the right time to reflect that, and Kohli was the right man for the job."
"Kohli will be fresh in the mind of all cricket fans after his performances against England," Booth said. "He has pulled clear of the likes of Steve Smith, Joe Root, Kane Williamson and AB de Villiers, and is clearly the most exciting all-format batsman in world cricket." Wisden 2017 edition will be published in April.
