Rating Virat Kohli’s IPL career: Best and worst seasons ranked
Kohli stands as the leading run-getter in the IPL to date.
7. IPL 2018
2018 was yet another year for Kohli where he had a 500-plus IPL season. Although he scored only four half-centuries, Kohli was able to piece together a sufficient number of runs. Quite a few innings of his this year were a perfect combination of anchoring and power-hitting.
RCB ended up sixth in 2018. 10 games into the season and they could not even string together consecutive victories. Yet again, third-placed Kolkata Knight Riders (-0.070) and fourth-placed RR (-0.250) had an inferior NRR in comparison to RCB (+0.129).
8. IPL 2015
Despite attaining his fifty only thrice in 16 matches, Kohli was able to breach the 500-run mark in 2015. A total of 35 fours and 23 sixes were hit by the batting maestro. Notably, this was also the IPL season in which he remained not out the most number of times in a single season (five).
Two games of RCB were called off due to the involvement of rain halfway through the fixture. This led to them ending up in third place, with Mumbai Indians claiming second spot (based on more number of wins). RCB were unable to overcome CSK in Qualifier 2 after getting past the Eliminator.
