3. Chris Gayle

Chris Gayle features at number 3 in the list of batters with most runs in a single season of IPL. Gayle Storm had a fabulous season in 2012 for RCB. He plundered 733 runs in 15 games. Mike Hussy does have the same number of runs, but as Gayle has scored them in one match less than Mike, makes him occupy the 3rd spot.

2. Kane Williamson

Kane Williamson never gives any impression that he could be a successful T20 batter. But over the years, he has proved everyone wrong. Despite not having any unorthodox shot in his book, he keeps scoring runs at an exceptional rate. In the 2018 IPL, playing for SRH, Kane had scored 735 runs in 17 games which is the 2nd highest number of runs in a single season of IPL.

1. Virat Kohli

Virat Kohli had a record-shattering season in 2016 when he plundered 973 runs in just 16 games. This is really an incredible figure. The man had 4 centuries in the same season. He was going through the purple patch not only in the IPL but at an international stage as well. This mountain of 973 runs doesn’t seem to get defeated by any batter in the future.
