Virat Kohli has shown great dominance against these three bowlers in the IPL
When it comes to run-scoring records, there aren’t too many players who are better than Virat Kohli. The former RCB skipper has set records on fire with his willow over the last 17 years, with 8004 runs in the Indian Premier League (IPL), averaging a staggering 38.67, with eight hundreds.
It is only natural that Kohli has had his success against some of the bowlers who he has time and again dominated. We look at three such big IPL names who haven’t got Kohli out for a single time in IPL.
Here are three famous IPL bowlers who have failed to dismiss Virat Kohli in IPL:
Virat Kohli's record against Mohit Sharma

The 2014 IPL purple cap winner hasn’t been spared by Kohli, with the RCB man smashing 90 runs against the pacer. In fact, not just that, Mohit Sharma has never been able to dismiss the former RCB skipper across 12 innings, with Kohli’s strike rate reading 145.2.
In total, Kohli has smashed 11 boundaries against the Haryana man without a response.
Kohli's record against Mitchell Starc

Not just that, Kohli has also struck at a healthy strike rate of 210.5 against him.
Kohli's record against Lockie Ferguson
