IPL 2018: The best in at # 3 slot

#1 Virat Kohli

Virat Kohli is a phenomenal batsman

Virat Kohli is definitely the best batsman of the century. He can single-handedly carry a team to victory. He is right behind Suresh Raina on the list of the highest run scorers in the Indian Premier League's history. He has scored 4418 runs. He is the linchpin of RCB's batting line-up. His association with the Royal Challengers Bangalore started in 2008. Virat Kohli will probably not open for RCB due to the availability of players like Quinton De Kock, Manan Vohra, and Brendon McCullum.

His T20 stats are superb. He averages 40 and has a strike rate of 140. In his last 5 T20's, Virat Kohli has scored 131 runs at a strike rate of 156.

RCB's performance this year will depend on the way Virat Kohli performs.
