Despite the fact that he may be the target of alleged T20 Cricket lethargic hit rates, one thing is for sure Virat Kohli is still the best batsman in India across all formats.
He has been leading with IPL orange cap in this edition. 12 games of 634 runs averaged at 70.44 and had a strike rate of 153.51.

Before Royal Challengers Bangalore (Official X handle) took on Delhi Capitals at M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru on Sunday for an IPL match, they shared a video of Kohli talking about reinventing himself as you evolve.
“But I’m definitely not going to sit there and say this is the way that I will play and not improve on things that I need to improve,” Kohli said during the video. “To keep yourself motivated, knowing your game over such a long period allows you to practice less.”
“Still quality over quantity for me and it’s something I try to bring in every practice session, trying to better my own game has its own challenges because it never stops being worked upon.” Taking myself into that situation mentally and thinking I need to go out there and expose that area more often, lets me take more risks which would mean forcing longer shots off my pads against the spinners.
“I think you require just a bit more self-belief; let go of what happens when you get out.” So far in this edition of the IPL, I’ve tried keeping my mind ahead of everything else which has helped me through those middle overs when I thought about games like this.” It is therefore concluded by Virat.
RCB currently lies seventh in standings so making into playoffs looks impossible unless miracle happens.
