The 2016 runner-ups seemed unlikely to succeed after winning just one of their first seven matches, but Virat Kohli’s consistent performance was a steadfast driving force throughout their season. Although spectators initially dismissed RCB’s chances, Kohli kept delivering high scores. The Indian batter showcased top form in nearly every game, holding onto the coveted Orange Cap throughout.

From the start of the season, the run-machine was in excellent form, peaking at the perfect moment to propel the resurgent RCB into the playoffs. With 708 runs in 14 matches, including five fifties and a century, Kohli is now just 265 runs away from breaking his own single-season record of 973 runs.

In 2016, the Indian batsman set a record with 4 centuries and 7 fifties to his name. Despite RCB reaching the final that year, they were defeated by the eventual champions, Sunrisers Hyderabad. Furthermore, Kohli is just 29 runs shy of reaching the milestone of 8000 IPL runs.

As Virat Kohli aims for new records, he is undoubtedly also yearning for RCB’s first-ever title. Following an adventurous journey to the Playoffs, Bengaluru has a genuine chance to lift the coveted trophy if Kohli can replicate his stellar batting performances in the playoffs.
