India skipper Virat Kohli was on Wednesday named the 'Leading Cricketer in the World' for 2016 by this year's edition of Wisden Cricketers' Almanack, which is published this week.The 28-year-old Indian amassed 1,215 Test runs at a healthy average of 75.93 while producing 739 runs at 92.37 in One-day Internationals (ODI) besides scoring 641 runs at 106.83 in T20 Internationals.Under his watch, India completed a clean sweep of trophies in the Test, ODI and T20 series against England in 2016-17, with his 235 against England in the fourth Test at Mumbai confirming him, in Wisden editor Lawrence Booth's words, as "the spiritual successor to Sachin Tendulkar".
