There is otherwise absolutely nothing out of place for Kohli in this season’s IPL, including that gelled hair. Kohli’s average of 83.54 is more than 20 runs per match better than the previous best, Gayle’s 61.08 in 2012. Kohli, with de Villiers, has accounted for 57% of the runs scored by RCB this season, the former alone netting over 30% of the total. With 919 runs scored (and a match remaining, the final on 29 May) from 15 matches, Kohli is already the highest-scoring batsman in a single season in IPL’s 9-year history. He could chase Gayle’s highest IPL individual innings score of 175.
