The IPL has been one of the most iconic franchise leagues in cricket and there are plenty of great Indian cricketers who have played this tournament. However one of the best cricketers in the IPL is none other than Virat Kohli, who is the highest run-scorer in the league and still holds the record for scoring the most number of runs in a single season to his name.
The 2016 season was one of the best seasons of the IPL for him as he scored a total of 973 runs, which also included 4 centuries in a season. This was the tournament where we saw the class and aggressive nature of the former Indian skipper. As of now, no batter has broken this record, but there are still some Indian batters who will be favourites to break this long-standing record from the king himself.
So, here are the 3 Indian players who can break Virat Kohli’s record for scoring the most runs in a season:
3. Ruturaj Gaikwad
There might be questions around Ruturaj Gaikwad who might not be known for his aggressive style of batting, but once he gets into the groove, he is capable of playing some phenomenal knocks. Gaikwad is already one of the rising stars of the Chennai Super Kings and if he scores runs consistently, there is a chance that he might break this record in the future.
2. Yashasvi Jaiswal
Yashasvi Jaiswal is already regarded as one of the most talented young batters in the Indian setup and it will be no surprise if he goes on to break this record. Jaiswal is already one of the biggest stars in the IPL for the Rajasthan Royals and his fearless style of cricket and masterful stroke-making is enough to put any bowling attack under pressure and score big runs.
1. Shubman Gill
The other two batters have no doubt had some great years in the IPL, but Shubman Gill is the only Indian batter who has come close to Virat’s record in the 2023 season. Shubman is already regarded as the next big thing in Indian cricket and is one of the clear favourites to break Virat’s record in the future. This will be another major achievement for Gill who is already one of the most consistent runs scorers for the Indian team.
