Virat Kohli

Virat Kohli will walk in at 3 even though he has enjoyed success opening the batting. The leading run-scorer in IPL history is never far away from scoring runs. He enjoyed a memorable 2016 season where he slammed a record-breaking 973 including four swashbuckling centuries.

He can accelerate at any point and has run chases for dinner which makes him a major threat for the opposition. Overall he has 5412 runs at a strike rate of 131.6 and five tons.
