#1 Royal Challengers Bangalore Vs Mumbai Indians, 10 May 2015

IPL 2015, MI vs RCB, Highlights: AB de Villiers, Virat Kohli Destroy Mumbai, Bangalore Jump to Fourth Place
Kohli and de Villiers shattered the Mumbai Indians

The Mumbai Indians would have been optimistic about their chances of winning the match when they removed the big-hitting Chris Gayle for just 20 runs. However, that was not to be.

Kohli and de Villiers then combined and blasted their way to 235/1, which featured a mammoth 215 run stand between the duo. What's even more amazing is that the stand was unbroken, with de Villiers finishing on a scintillating 133* and Kohli on 82*.

RCB went on to win the match by 39 runs after a superb knock by Kieron Pollard, but the play of the day had to go to the carnage by de Villiers and Kohli. This partnership was unlike anything that the IPL had ever seen and little did we all know that it would be the first of many between these two.
