1. Virat Kohli (RCB) – 973 runs
King Kohli was busy in weaving a legend of his own throughout the course of the IPL. Though his stats are mind-wobbling but much more than that the way he played to lead his side to the finals is something extra-ordinary. When in magical form, players like to play the dominant role incessantly and sometimes in trying to feed their egos end up harming their side. But Kohli is different even after being such a prolific scorer he never shied away from playing the second fiddle to the likes of Gayle and de Villiers, which is awe-inspiring level of selflessness.
The 27-year-old broke almost all the batting records in IPL this season as he ended up with 973 runs, just 27 short of a record 1,000 run-mark in a single season of IPL. Kohli hit 4 centuries and 7 half-centuries besides averaging 81 and holding a superior strike-rate of 152 with the bat. King Kohli is now the highest scorer in a single season of IPL, also the highest run-getter in IPL, overall. The right-hander was also the recipient of the Most Valuable Player award, Maximum sixes award, and the Orange Cap.
