The Delhi batsman not only became the first cricketer to score four tons in one season, but also surpassed Suresh Raina to become the highest run-scorer in the cash-rich tournament.


Kohli amassed 973 runs in IPL 2016 and almost single-handedly won the maiden trophy for his team.


One record, which many didn't know about, is that the 26-year-old also became the first cricketer to spend over 1,000 minutes at the crease in one IPL season.


Kohli also hit 36 sixes in the tournament – most by any batsman.
