Virat Kohli in 2016
Virat Kohli emerged as an example of one man leading his troops single-handedly to title contenders. Kohli, in the middle of a dream run with the bat, marshalled his men from a position of elimination of the final all by himself, with the help of his fighting knock. The urge to win transformed him into a relentless run scoring machine which flattened a huge chunk of IPL records created over the course of the past eight months. Describing his exploits n the 2016 season in limited words is an impossible task. But, in a nutshell, the RCB skipper had 973 runs to his name in 16 matches at an average of 81.08 while maintaining a strike rate of 152.03. The most stunning fact was that these runs included a record number of 4 centuries and 7 fifties.
