Virat Kohli, the captain of the Royal Challengers Bangalore, has been a consistent performer in the IPL, with 6076 runs in 199 matches at an average of 37.97 and a strike rate of 130.41.

Although he didn’t have a great IPL 2022, with just 308 runs in 13 matches, he has the potential to bounce back in IPL 2023, especially since he will be playing on familiar home grounds in Bangalore. Kohli is also known for his aggression and determination, which could inspire his team to do better.

KL Rahul

KL Rahul, the captain of the Punjab Kings, has been in phenomenal form in recent years, both in the IPL and in international cricket. In IPL 2022, he scored 633 runs in 14 matches, including a blistering century against the Royal Challengers Bangalore.

With a total of 2647 runs in 90 IPL matches at an average of 44.11 and a strike rate of 135.67, Rahul is a strong contender for the Orange Cap. He is also a versatile player, who can open the innings or bat in the middle order, depending on the team’s needs.

Jos Buttler

Jos Buttler, the wicketkeeper-batsman of the Rajasthan Royals, is a fearless and aggressive player, who can take the game away from the opposition in a matter of overs. In IPL 2022, he scored 505 runs in 13 matches, at a strike rate of 153.96, which included five half-centuries.

With a total of 2116 runs in 80 IPL matches at an average of 31.36 and a strike rate of 146.62, Buttler is a match-winner who can single-handedly turn the tide of a game. He is also a good fielder and a reliable wicketkeeper, which adds to his value as a player.

Glenn Maxwell

Glenn Maxwell, the Australian all-rounder who plays for the Royal Challengers Bangalore, had a breakthrough season in IPL 2022, where he scored 561 runs in 15 matches, at a strike rate of 145.60, and also took seven wickets with his off-spin.

Maxwell’s ability to hit sixes at will and his clever variations with the ball make him a valuable asset to any team. With a total of 1599 runs and 29 wickets in 88 IPL matches, Maxwell has the potential to be one of the top performers in IPL 2023.

Rishabh Pant

Rishabh Pant, the wicketkeeper-batsman of the Delhi Capitals, is one of the rising stars of Indian cricket, known for his explosive batting and innovative stroke-play. In IPL 2022, he scored 469 runs in 13 matches, at a strike rate of 156.33, which included three half-centuries.

With a total of 1732 runs in 68 IPL matches at an average of 34.21 and a strike rate of 157.09, Pant is a player who can take on any bowler and score runs at a rapid pace. He is also a good captaincy material, who led Delhi Capitals to the final of IPL 2022.
