Virat Kohli

Unarguably the best batsmen in the world across all the three formats, Virat Kohli has been a star since his U19 days - when he led the Indian team to World Cup glory. He has proved himself consistently in all the three formats in the international arena.

In 2018 Kohli became the only player to win the Sir Garfield Sobers Trophy for ICC Cricketer of the Year, the ICC Men's Test Player of the Year and the ICC ODI Player of the Year in the same year.

Kohli is such a technically gifted batsman that he makes batting look effortlessly easy. He has been in the Royal Challengers squad since the inaugural season in 2008.

Now the captain of the team, Kohli has often led his team to victory with his bat over the years.

Kohli finds himself in the second position in the list of all-time run scorers in the IPL. He has scored 4,948 runs in the IPL so far with an incredible average of 38.35 in 155 innings.
