Srinivas Bhogle and Purnendu Maji identify India's most valuable players in ODI games this season.
A World Cup year tends to dominate discussion on ODI cricket, and bilateral series are usually quickly forgotten. Before the series against Australia begins, let us take a look at India's best ODI players during the ongoing 2019-2020 season.
After winning the International Cricket Council's ODI Player of the Year 2008 award, it is not such a big surprise that Mahendra Singh Dhoni is also India's most valuable ODI player so far in the 2008-09 season.
Virat is No 1, Rohit is No 2, but guess who are 3, 4 and 5?

Some of the usual suspects -- Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag and Yuvraj Singh -- either don't figure or figure low down the list. Instead, we see Rohit Sharma, Ravindra Jadeja and Virat Kohli up there -- together with M S Dhoni, who already bids fair to be India's most consistent ODI performer of all time.

Virat Kohli was India's most valuable ODI player of the last (2011-12) season. And as we commence the 2012-13 ODI season it appears that Kohli plans to continue in exactly the same vein. He was, without a doubt, the most valuable player from either side in the SL-India ODI series that ended last week with a MVPI of 324.
It took just one magical innings for Virender Sehwag to race to the top of the list of most valuable players in the recently-concluded India-West Indies ODI series. Ravindra Jadeja follows closely behind, nicely fitting into the slot vacated by Yuvraj Singh after the World Cup.
Even though Yuvraj Singh didn't seem to be quite himself -- at least till that innings in the Compaq Cup tri-series final -- he is still India's most valuable ODI player in the ongoing 2009-10 season. If Yuvraj doesn't bat well, he ends up bowling rather well. So this way or that he always brings great value.
Yuvraj Singh was the most valuable player (MVP) in the recently-concluded Sri Lanka India ODI series, but Virender Sehwag continues to be India's most valuable ODI player so far in the 2008-09 season.
Mahendra Singh Dhoni drops to the sixth place after failing with the bat.
