IPL 2019: 3 RCB top-order batsmen and their highest scores against CSK

#2 Virat Kohli

Will the Indian captain win IPL trophy ahead of World Cup 2019?

Virat Kohli has been playing for RCB since the inception of IPL. The Indian captain has made a lot of noteworthy records with the franchise. However, despite being one of the best captains and an undisputed IPL batsman, his trophy cabinet is empty.

Thus it is evident that he would be looking to grab his first IPL trophy as a captain. The Indian skipper really needs it now more than ever as he has a World Cup shortly after the IPL. The victory would boost his confidence.

Beating CSK in the series opener is the best way to make a statement. For that, Kohli needs to do his part exceptionally well which is, of course, a top-notch batting. In 22 matches against CSK, he has batted in 21 innings and has scored 732 runs with an average of 40.67 and a strike rate of 125. 77.

Kohli's highest score of 73 against Chennai Super Kings came way back at 2014 when the two sides met at the M. Chinnaswamy stadium. However, his runs didn't fetch a win for his side. This time around, Virat would be eyeing to beat his own high score against CSK in a winning contribution.
