5 reasons why RCB will win IPL 2018

The talismanic Kohli would love to add the IPL feather to his already glittering cap

#1 Virat Kohli

Two words- One man. Virat Kohli is the biggest reason why no team can take RCB lightly. The number one batsman in ODI’s and number two in Tests is scoring runs for fun and it is hard to recall the last time he was not in form. As the Indian captain, he is on a mission to take his team to the numero uno position across all formats.

The only player in the history of the league to have allegiance with a single IPL franchise, Kohli is keener than ever to help crown Bangalore as IPL champions and bring a smile on the fans who consider him to be one of their own.

An aggregator of 4418 runs at a healthy average of 37.44 and a strike rate of a shade under 130, Virat is the second highest run scorer in the league. His four centuries, all in one season, in 2016, are a testament to his adaptability to the shortest format, even though he plays risk-free cricketing shots to score all those runs.

RCB will not just need the batsman Kohli, but his aggressive captaincy and ‘in the face of the opposition’ instincts will underline the boldness with which RCB takes the field. 38 wins and 39 losses in 82 matches as RCB skipper are figures that he can and will surely like to improve upon this season.
