Brothers of destruction: Reliving 3 of the most destructive partnerships between ABD and Kohli

#2 Royal Challengers Bangalore vs the Sunrisers Hyderabad, 12th April 2016

The stand between Kohli and de Villiers propelled RCB to yet another win

When Chris Gayle fell for just 6 runs, the Sunrisers Hyderabad would have been hoping to restrict RCB to under 200. The early loss of the destructive Gayle would have been something that RCB would have been less than thrilled about and the coaching staff might have abandoned any hope of the side posting a score in excess of 200 runs.

Kohli and de Villiers had other plans. The pair smashed an astonishing 157-run stand off just 87 balls to guide RCB to a mammoth 227/4. The duo made an absolute mockery of the SRH bowling attack and hit the ball to all areas of the ground.

A century by David Warner proved to be insufficient, with RCB taking the win by 45 runs.
