Virat Kohli – The year 2016 was a dream year for Virat Kohli in T20 cricket as every game he played, he broke records. He started the year with three back to back half centuries in international cricket and continued the same form in IPL as well. But in this league, his standards raised to another level.
Kohli, who did not have a century in a T20 game at that time, smashed four centuries in a span of 50 days and not just this, he also produced 973 runs with the bat at an average of 81.08 in 16 games. His first hundred came against Gujarat Lions on April 24 in Rajkot where he played an innings of 100*. Three more three-figure-mark followed and Kohli became a star of the T20 league that year.
