Virat Kohli - a batsman who over the years became synonymous with batting greatness. A prolific run machine at his peak, tagged the best chaser in the modern day game. But as it happens with every great player, the purple patches are often followed by lean spells. Virat has set the benchmark so high over the years, thanks to how prolific he has been with the bat, a lean patch, especially if it's a prolonged one, doesn't sit ight with cricket fans. Across the seasons, the IPL is one platform where Virat has really shone with the bat. He continues to be the highest run-getter overall in IPL history, with 6402 runs in 215 matches, at an average of 36.58 and an overall strike rate of almost 130.
