Virat Kohli stood out as the monarch of all that he surveyed in the 2016 edition of the IPL

Virat Kohli absolutely owned the 2016 edition of the IPL. The batting maestro combined elegance and class with force and power, pummeled bowling attacks and made the opposition captains scratch their heads in sheer disbelief.

Let us gulp down some numbers. Out of the 16 innings that Kohli played in the 2016 edition, he crossed the 50-run mark 11 times, converted 4 of them into hundreds and averaged an astounding 81.08. His strike rate in the 2016 edition of the IPL was 152.03

Kohli was the fulcrum of the RCB batting line-up in the 2016 edition, and stood out as the monarch of all that he surveyed. In all probability, Kohli's surreal aggregate of 973 runs in a single edition of the IPL might never be broken.
