IPL 2018: Captains and their favorite oppositions

#2 – Virat Kohli (vs Sunrisers Hyderabad)

Virat Kohli has had an outstanding run against Sunrisers Hyderabad since their inception in 2013

Kohli is a prolific run-getter in the IPL, being the second highest after Suresh Raina. Having played at Royal Challengers Bangalore for all 11 seasons, he has seen how oppositions operate and has found new ways to score against many of them.

Picking one favorite opposition of his was difficult as well since his records against Sunrisers Hyderabad, Chennai Super Kings, and Delhi Daredevils are jaw-dropping.

Although he has more runs against CSK and DD, he has played a lesser number of games against SRH. This is because SRH came into existence only since 2013. Considering that and the fact that they have been blessed so far with an incredible bowling attack, Kohli averages 62 against them in 9 games at a blistering strike rate of 146.62. Having 4 fifties against them already also helps in this case. He tops this list.

The RCB skipper has led his team to wins against SRH, so the southern derby is expected to hotten up again if Kohli fires with another big score.
