Earlier today, Aakash Chopra made a big prediction regarding the possible orange cap winner in the IPL 2023. Chopra believes that Royal Challengers Bangalore star Virat Kohli will be in the running for the orange cap based on his performance against the Mumbai Indians in the first game.
The former Indian captain scored a brilliant 82 in 49 balls with six fours and five sixes chasing a modest total of 171 runs. Batting alongside Faf du Plessis, the RCB opening pair posted an incredible 148-run stand. Citing this performance, Chopra expressed that Kohli has been showing shades of his dream 2016 season where he amassed 973 runs at an average of 81.08.
"From Virat Kohli's knock, it seems he will remain in the Orange Cap race this year. There is some similarity between 2016 and this season. He was in sublime form for six months at the international level ahead of IPL 2016. Now also he is close to that sublime form at the international level," Chopra said on his YouTube channel.
