RCB Team Performance

Royal Challengers Best Players

The highest IPL individual score was received by the players: AB de Villiers, Virat Kohli, Devdutt Padikkal, Yuzvendra Chahal.

1. Virat Kohli

The skipper of RCB for years, Virat Kohli, without a doubt, is the top player of India and one of the best players in the world. RCB pays 17 crores to Virat Kohli for being in the team, and that is the highest salary yet paid to any player in the IPL history.

It is not wrong to say that most RCB fandom is because of Virat Kohli, and one cannot imagine RCB without him. He holds the record of individual 973 runs in a single season.

2. AB de Villiers

Vice-Captain of the team, AB de Villiers, is one of the hardest-working players. He’s one of those batsmen who could take any bowler while playing at the front foot. This year the fans have high hopes for him.

3. Yuzvendra Chahal

Yuzvendra Chahal is the former chess player of India, and he is the best leg spinner on the RCB squad. Chahal stands 3rd in our list of best players as he’s the highest wicket-taker of the team.

4. Devdutt Padikkal

A retained player of the RCB squad, Devdutt played 101 off 52 balls without even breaking a sweat in the IPL 2020. Though he was down at the beginning of IPL 2021 with Covid-19. Now he is back again to support the team with his jaw-dropping bating.
