Former Australia batter Matthew Hayden believes that in-form Virat Kohli has the opportunity to carry forward his sensational league stage performance in the IPL Playoffs and surpass his all-time highest run-scorer feat in the ongoing edition. 

With 708 runs in 14 matches, Kohli is having the second-best IPL season after the 2016 season where he amassed 973 runs in 16 games including seven half-centuries and four hundred. He is still 265 runs behind his previous-best tally. He is also the leading run-getter in the season and holds the Orange Cap.
