Rating Virat Kohli’s IPL career: Best and worst seasons ranked
Kohli stands as the leading run-getter in the IPL to date.
11. IPL 2020
The 2020 edition was the first season of the three back-to-back ones, wherein Kohli could never really get going at the crease. He could score at a strike rate of just 121.35 on the pitches of the UAE, where not a lot of batters could strike at their usual tempo.
Four consecutive losses in their final four games meant RCB ended up as one amongst three sides to be finishing on 14 points after 14 matches. SRH edged past RCB in a nervy, low-scoring contest in the Eliminator.
12. IPL 2021
Year 2021 was not too different for Kohli as compared to the aforementioned one. He scored the same number of fifties as he did in 2020 (three). All of this came while operating at a meagre strike rate of just 119.46.
RCB finished third on the points table, with NRR being the differentiator for CSK to finish second despite the latter having lost their final three group-stage games. KKR claimed victory in the Eliminator to knock RCB out of the competition for the second season in a row.
