IPL 2021: Current best playing XI of the tournament
IPL is full of quality players across franchises.
3. Virat Kohli
Undoubtedly the best batsman of the modern era & one of the best ever to have played the sport. When cricket fans think of batting, the first name that comes to mind is Virat Kohli. The passion & infectious energy he brings to the table is one of the main reasons he is the most popular cricketer in the world. He is the only player to have played for one team (Royal Challengers Bangalore) in the IPL since its inception.
His records are mind-boggling and second to none. He has played 199 matches and scored 6076 runs including 40 fifties and five hundreds at an average just below 38 and a strike rate of 130.41. He has scored the most runs in the IPL and this record may not be broken very easily.
From playing at number 6 and 7 to playing at number 3 and even opening the innings, Kohli has had a rollercoaster of a journey with RCB. He has publicly claimed that he can’t see himself playing for any other IPL franchise. Kohli is extremely determined to win his first IPL title and with the RCB squad looking well balanced and at 3rd place at the table, this might be the year.
