IPL 2016: Top 7 performers of the month

Virat Kohli

Virat Kohli has been in fine form for RCB

Arguably India's best batsman at the moment, Virat Kohli has turned into a phenomenon of late as he has kept on scoring runs for fun this calendar year. After a prolonged slump in form last year, Kohli has come back with a bang as he breaks one record after another.

For India, Kohli has been incredible, carrying the team to the semi-finals of the World T20 almost single-handedly. He had started piling on the runs from the Australia tour earlier this year and carried on his good form in this year's IPL.

Kohli has been leading the Royal Challengers Bangalore by example as the entire franchise has become heavily dependent on him in the batting department. Kohli seems to be relishing the opportunity scoring heavily every day and having just brought up his maiden T20 century.

Kohli's figures are quite unreal -- he now averages just above 110 in T20s this year. He has amassed 381 runs from 6 matches at an average of 76.20 in this year's IPL so far.
