'Kohli can go past his best performance in IPL 2016': Hayden

With Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) having qualified for the Playoffs, the star batter has the chance to close the gap and even surpass his feat

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.

With Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) having qualified for the Playoffs, the star batter has the chance to close the gap and even surpass his feat. “We are looking at Virat celebrating his second-best season thus far. He could go well past his IPL 2016 performance in the kind of form that he’s in. So more than anything, I think it’s the energy and the love of the game, the passion, the commitment for it all—all of those describing words that you can glorify this great man with bat in hand,” Hayden told Star Sports.
