As shown in the screenshot , i tried lsusb and iwconfig, none of them displayed my wifi adapter. I tried switching the USB ports and restarting VM. Performed the updates and upgrades. Its working on the host OS(windows 8).

Your USB wifi already listed through lsusb command the ID 2357:010c is IDvendor and the IDproduct of the TP-Link TL-WN722N USB wifi.

2 ways to install the driver :

The wired connection is required

1) open the terminal and run the following command:

apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get dist-upgrade
reboot

then

apt-get install dkms git
git clone https://github.com/lwfinger/rtl8188eu.git
dkms add ./rtl8188eu
dkms build 8188eu/1.0
dkms install 8188eu/1.0
modprobe 8188eu

2) by compiling the source

apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get dist-upgrade
reboot

Use the command apt-get install gcc make linux-headers-$(uname -r) to install the appropriate linux-headers pacakge , then run :

git clone https://github.com/lwfinger/rtl8188eu.git
cd rtl8188eu
make
make install
modprobe 8188eu

    `apt-get dkms git` responds with `unable to locate package dkms` then `Package 'git' has no installation candidate` – Mark Deven Jan 13 '19 at 23:15

    never mind my sources file was empty (see this link if anyone else experiences this: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/465465/apt-get-upgrade-wont-work-on-kali ) – Mark Deven Jan 13 '19 at 23:27
  • @MarkDeven check your sources.list https://docs.kali.org/general-use/kali-linux-sources-list-repositories – GAD3R Jan 13 '19 at 23:28

This install worked for me as root (use sudo -s at the beginning)

apt update
apt upgrade
apt install bc
rmmod r8188eu.ko
git clone https://github.com/aircrack-ng/rtl8188eus 
cd rtl8188eus
echo "blacklist r8188eu.ko" > "/etc/modprobe.d/realtek.conf"
make
make install
modprobe 8188eu
reboot

if make doesn't work reboot & try again

I hope that it works for you too
