Virat Kohli record can be broken

Most runs in a season
Virat Kohli scored a total of 973 runs in the 2016 IPL season, scoring 4 centuries after playing 17 matches. David Warner scored 848 runs this year while playing for Sunrisers Hyderabad. Butler has scored 824 runs in IPL 2022 with 4 centuries in 16 matches so far. With 150 runs, he will make the record of scoring the most runs in a season. This task, if not easy, is not impossible as Chris Gayle and Brendon McCullum have earlier scored over 150 runs in the IPL. If Joe Buttler does this, then he will also become the first batsman to score five centuries in a season.
