IPL 2019: 5 Batsmen who could win the Orange Cap

Modified Mar 23, 2019 13:44 IST

#1 Virat Kohli (Royal Challengers Bangalore)

Without an iota of doubt, Virat Kohli is the best batsman in the world right now and every year he just seems to be getting better. At the moment, he is scoring centuries for fun. Hence, it shouldn’t come as a surprise to everyone if Virat Kohli wins the Orange Cap this year.

The fans witnessed how destructive Kohli could be in IPL 2016 when he hammered four centuries in the same season and nearly scored 1000 runs. Given his current form, history could repeat itself once again. He may not score four centuries this year, but he could certainly finish the season as the leading run scorer. He can even become the all-time leading run scorer in the IPL at the end of this season.

Leading from the front, Kohli will be an absolute nightmare for the bowlers this year and his performances will be the difference between victory and defeat for RCB.

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.
