IPL 2020: Top 5 batsmen with highest average in the tournament's history
The names featured in this list have been one of the most consistent players in both international and IPL cricket.
5. Virat Kohli
Virat Kohli, the man who would be coming into this IPL, having worked out the best strategies to get his team to a tournament win, is placed at the fifth spot in this list of players with the highest average in the Indian Premier League.
It may be surprising to many that, but a team that has had batsmen of Virat Kohli’s calibre has not won an IPL title even once in over a decade of the tournament’s existence. Kohli each year manages to get a mountain of runs to his name, but something fails to click and his team remains deprived of the title.
Since the start of the tournament in 2008, Virat has played a total of 177 IPL matches, all for the same franchise, the Royal Challengers Bangalore. He has scored a total of 5412 runs at an average of 37.84 and stands to be one of the highest run-getters in the history of the tournament.
