If there is one team in IPL known for its volatility, it is Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB). Be it their on-field performance or the auction-table player drafting, they have been at both ends, to be honest.
But one thing that’s kind of remained stable for them is their batting. If you look at the top ten individual scores in the tournament history, there are four entries from RCB.
This indicates they have had solid batters in their ranks. And Virat Kohli is one of them – RCB’s lead run-scorer in the IPL. A few others have also assisted him well to be among the top run-getters for the franchise.
Here are the top ten leading run-scorers for RCB in IPL history.
