4. Virat Kohli

Leader of the Royal Challengers Bangalore, ‘King Kohli’ never seems to shy away from a challenge, and here he’s up for it, to win the maiden title for his side. After precisely three disappointing matches in the start, Kohli has gained his momentum back.

Six back-to-back forty plus scores, shy of one actually with 33, he has been consistent. Holds back one batting end and lets other dazzle boundaries, sometimes, if not, he ousts them and takes charge himself, which he is very well capable of. Nothing short of cogent has been the captain.
