5 greatest Indian batsmen in IPL history 

#2 Virat Kohli

The run-machine
The run-machine

Virat Kohli bleeds red when he dawns the RCB jersey. He has become a Bengaluru boy thanks to his everlasting loyalty to the club. He is the only player in the history to have remained in the same franchise in every edition of it. His breathtaking batting has destroyed oppositions.

The Royal Challengers Bengaluru skipper is the 2nd highest run-scorer in the IPL history with 4948 runs in 163 matches that he has represented the franchise. He has scored at an impressive average of 38.35 and at a strike rate of 130.76.

In 2016, Virat Kohli scored colossal 973 runs in a single season. His 4 glorious centuries took the opposition to the cleaners. He smashed bowlers with complete disdain.

Even though Kohli has had very less success as a captain, it is his passion that drives the tech-savvy city to come out in numbers every season to support the team.
