Playing XI: Virat Kohli has not found a place in the playing eleven of the players who have scored the most runs in IPL. You must be thinking that the player who has 8004 runs to his name and who is the only player to have achieved such a feat in IPL so far
Why did Virat Kohli not find a place in the list of highest run scorers? Actually, the runs scored by Virat Kohli in IPL history are his overall runs. But if we talk about maximum runs at different batting positions from one to eleven, then Virat does not fit in the playing eleven made on that scale.
What kind of playing XI is this?
Just like a team’s playing XI consists of players from number 1 to 11, similarly this playing XI has also been prepared of the players who have scored the most runs. This playing eleven mentions the names of the players from opening to number 11 and the runs scored by them. Rohit Sharma and MS Dhoni have managed to secure their place in this list. But RCB’s Virat Kohli, who sometimes plays as an opener, sometimes at number 4 and sometimes at first down, could not make it to the playing eleven. Now let’s take a look at the playing eleven of the players who have scored the most runs according to the batting order in IPL so far.
