IPL's Orange Cap Winners: Where are they now?

2016 - Virat Kohli (Royal Challengers Bangalore)

Virat Kohli has always been regarded as a fabulous player; however, in the IPL of 2016, by scoring 972 runs and 4 centuries, Kohli established himself as a once-in-a-generation T20 player. While the RCB and India captain could not lead his side to a victory that year, his performance that season is almost undoubtedly the most consistent showing by a batsman in any T20 tournament ever.

Since then, while he has not been able to scale the same heights in the IPL as a batsman and as a captain, he has gone from strength to strength in international cricket and established himself as the finest player in the world.

Currently, he captains India in all three formats of the game and holds the first position in the ICC rankings for Test Batsmen as well as for ODI Batsmen. His T20 form has not been great of late, and he will be looking at the upcoming IPL as an opportunity to rectify that and find some momentum before the World Cup later this year.
