This man needs no introduction. One of the modern greats, Virat Kohli walks into any all time team in the shorter-formats. The Royal Challengers Bangalore must have noticed the greatness of Kohli when they picked him up in 2008. He was the only player they retained three years later and handed over the captaincy in 2013. He is the second highest run-getter in IPL with 4948 runs, with just 37 runs behind Suresh Raina.

Kohli captaincy record in the IPL doesn’t match his batting prowess or his captaincy record in the international scene. Though he has led RCB to two playoffs and second position once, he has an ordinary record as a captain with the win percentage of just 45.83. But that doesn’t stop him from making into the all-time captain's XI batting at number 3.
