Modified Mar 01, 2018 00:49 IST

IPL 2018 — Royal Challengers Bangalore will be looking to end their IPL drought in 2018

#1 Virat Kohli

One man who automatically features on the list is Virat Kohli. The RCB captain is arguably the best batsman in the world across all formats. Kohli has already opened the innings for Bangalore before and commendably so.

His 973 runs in the 2016 edition of IPL is the most by any batsman in the history of IPL. Hence, the RCB captain would be looking to continue his exploits as an opener in the upcoming season of IPL as well.

Virat Kohli has so far starred in 149 IPL matches and has scored 4418 runs at a brilliant average of 37.44 and a decent strike rate of 129.82.
