The dashing Indian opener was the poster boy of Delhi Daredevils (now Delhi Capitals) for the first six years before he was released and was bought by KXIP. He captained the side which reached the top 4 in the first, second and fifth seasons.

Sehwag also emerged as the top scorer for DD in most of the seasons he played. His five consecutive fifties in 2012 remain as one of the highlights of his IPL career.

Sehwag has 2117 runs from 79 innings at an average of 29.00 and a strike rate of 159.89, third best for DD after Morris and Pant. He has 14 fifties and 1 hundred to his name, with a best of 119*. Most of his runs came off boundaries, with 261 fours and 80 sixes to his name.

The next in the list include David Warner, Rishabh Pant, Shreyas Iyer and Gautam Gambhir.

#Royal Challengers Bangalore - Virat Kohli

The only player in the IPL history to play for a single franchise in all seasons, Virat Kohli tops the batting charts for RCB, just like he does for India in international cricket. After having a slow start to his IPL career at a young age, Virat slowly emerged to be one of the top run-getters in IPL. He captained the side that reached the finals in the 2016 edition. Despite his own terrific form every year, he has not been able to give RCB the coveted trophy. Kohli is the only batsman to score more than 900 runs in a single season.

Virat has 4948 runs for RCB from 155 innings at an average of 38.36 and strike rate of 130.76. All four of his hundreds came in the 2016 season, with a best score of 113*. He also has 34 fifties to his name and has gone up rapidly in the six-hitting list with a total of 177 sixes.

The next best on the list are AB de Villiers, Chris Gayle, Jacques Kallis and Rahul Dravid.
