IPL: 7 Major records RCB team holds without winning the trophy
Royal Challengers Bangalore has shattered many records despite not lifting the trophy for a single time.
5. Most runs in IPL by a player in a season (973 runs)
Former RCB skipper Virat Kohli took the 2016 season by storm, as the star batter hammered a mammoth 973 runs in the campaign. In 16 innings, he scored those runs at an average of 81.08 and a strike rate of 152.03 with the highest score of 113.
Kohli struck four hundred and seven half-centuries with 83 fours and 38 maximums to his name. Not just in the IPL, his tally of 973 runs is the most scored by a batter in all T20 tournaments ever. Two out of the four tons had come against GL, one against Punjab Kings (PBKS), and the last against Rising Pune Supergiants.
With 11 thirty-plus scores in that memorable season, Kohli along with de Villiers who notched up 687 runs took his side to their third final, only to lose it at the end to Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). It was Jos Buttler who came close to his runs tally in the just concluded 2022 edition of the IPL. Buttler amassed 863 runs as he fell 110 runs short of King Kohli’s fantabulous achievement.
