The RCB skipper is considered the best batsman in the world, and it is no surprise he is number one in this list.

Though RCB could not qualify for the playoffs last season, Kohli scored plenty of runs. He has been part of RCB since the inauguration of the IPL in 2008, and he is also the most expensive player in the league.

Kohli won the Orange Cap in 2016 when he scored a whopping 973 runs in 16 matches at an incredible average of 81.08. He played 14 matches last season and scored 530 runs.

Kohli is the top run-scorer in the history of the IPL. He has played 163 IPL matches, and he has scored 4948 runs at an average of 38.35.
