Rating Virat Kohli’s IPL career: Best and worst seasons ranked
Kohli stands as the leading run-getter in the IPL to date.
15. IPL 2010
Although striking at a significant 144.81, Kohli only scored 307 runs in 13 innings. He could rack up only one half-century; a 35-ball 58-run knock coming against Deccan Chargers in a losing cause at the Chinnaswamy. Kohli was dismissed on the fourth delivery of the final over of RCB's innings.
RCB made their way through to the top four by winning seven out of the 14 group-stage contests. After losing out to MI in the first semi-final at the DY Patil Stadium, RCB took on DC in the third-place playoff at the same venue. They managed to win the game comprehensively by nine wickets and 37 balls to spare.
16. IPL 2009
Kohli's second season in the IPL was a level toned down as compared to his 2010 version. Playing the same number of innings (13), he scored 246 runs throughout the tournament which was held in South Africa. He scored only one half-century.
After getting defeated in four of their first five matches, RCB finished strong with four wins on the trot. The second semi-final and final was played on consecutive days. RCB failed to chase down a par score in the final against DCH to come agonisingly short of the title.
