VIRAT KOHLI

RCB fans will not be happy seeing captain Virat Kohli in this list, especially after making 466 runs with the highest score of 90* at an average of 42.36 and a strike-rate of 121.35. He hit 11 sixes and 23 fours in total, making three half-centuries.

And there is the problem with Kohli, as his slow batting in middle overs sucked the momentum out of the innings. Had it not being for AB de Villiers, who scored his 454 runs at a strike-rate of 158.74, RCB would have lost quite a few more matches, thanks to long periods of inactivity in middle overs.

Kohli relied on running between the wickets, but the opposition captain and bowlers were smart in plugging those gaps for him to exploit and it resulted in him getting out trying to hit the big shots or left it to his partner to do the heavy hitting job.

His captaincy was as usual and though RCB did well to reach the playoffs, they did so after losing their last four matches in the league stage and were eliminated by Sunrisers in their fifth straight loss.

There have been calls for RCB to relieve Kohli of the captaincy, but he is too big a name for RCB management to take the captaincy away from, given that he also leads the Indian team.

But despite leading RCB for 8 years now, his inability to win a single IPL title begs questioning of how long can RCB continue with him as captain, and the possibility of a new captain bringing in a fresh approach and ideas to the table, seems a lucrative offer as well.
