IPL 2019: 3 Reasons why Virat Kohli might help RCB to win their maiden title this year

#2 The most consistent player in IPL over the last 5 years

Kohli holds the record for scoring most runs in a season

We can divide Kohli’s IPL career graph into two phases - before 2013 and after 2013. Before 2013, Kohli had played many useful innings for RCB but he was never a match-winner in this format. Many doubted his abilities as a T20 batsman, considering he relied primarily on strike rotation and the occasional fours. But he proved everyone wrong in the 2016 season where he hit four centuries and scored an unbelievable 973 runs. It was simple old school batting from Kohli - get single off the good deliveries and punish all the mediocre balls. Despite Kohli's heroics, RCB failed to win the IPL. The Indian captain is having a great run with the bat in international cricket. He will hope to do the same during the IPL too. He is just 52 runs away from crossing 5000 runs in the IPL. Kohli's form will be vital for RCB to go all the way in the upcoming season.
