Can he better his 2016 record?

Virat Kohli is an obvious no.1 candidate. With 4418 runs in 141 games, he is the second highest run-getter in the competition’s history. He also holds the record for most runs in a single IPL tournament, 973 runs in 2016. He was also the Orange Cap winner in 2016.

The 29-year-old will lead Royal Challengers Bangalore once again in April. He is expected to open the batting with the kiwi dynamite, Brendon McCullum. With short boundaries and a beautiful batting strip, Chinnaswamy Stadium will offer a lot of runs for Kohli.

Virat Kohli was retained for a huge $2.7 million, highest ever fee for a player in IPL history. He is in great form right now and will look to win his maiden IPL trophy. He had a poor IPL 2017 but expect him to score heavily in IPL 2018.
