Virat Kohli will in all likelihood bat at No. 3 for RCB this season. The Indian captain would have been the favourite to win the Orange Cap as an opener, but at the number 3 position, he is still a force to reckon with and one would expect him to put on a good show to help RCB win their first ever IPL trophy.

Kohli won the Orange Cap in the 2016 edition when he had scored four centuries to end up with 973 runs for the season. He definitely has the ability to repeat his 2016 exploits this year and end up as the highest run scorer of 2018 as well.
