Greatest IPL performances of all-time

#2 Virat Kohli’s 973 runs in a single season

Though this didn’t take place in a single match, it was worth mentioning in this list simply because of how world class it was. 2016 won’t just be remembered for the year when Chennai Superkings and Rajasthan Royals were banned from the IPL, but it will also be remembered for Virat’s batting.

At the start of the IPL, Virat hadn’t managed to score a single IPL century. Clearly, he had some unfinished business. He scored a total of 973 runs in 16 games and he scored 4 hundreds. He was a real run machine in that tournament. All four centuries were pure world class innings.

Two out of those four centuries came within a span of just 10 days. Though RCB couldn’t win the tournament, this was one of their finest years yet.

If ever given a chance to change a storyline, Sunil would have booked Roman Reigns to end The Undertaker’s WrestleMania streak instead of Brock Lesnar. According to him, The Tribal Chief needed the victory more than Brock Lesnar, as the latter was already an established performer when he defeated ‘Taker. He would’ve also made that as Taker’s final match.
