Partnerships are key to making big totals

#4 Chris Gayle and Virat Kohli- 204*

Ent — Kohli and Gayle shared a memorable stand in the 2012 edition playing for RCB

Two completely different kinds of batsmen, but geniuses in their own unique way: Chris Gayle and Virat Kohli were involved in an unbeaten double hundred stand for the second wicket in 2012. The Delhi Daredevils were on the receiving side this time around.

While Gayle was flamboyant scoring massive sixes and flashy strokes, Kohli was the silent assassin going about his business without making much noise.

11 fielders appeared too less for the duo as they kept hitting the ball to all parts of the ground without a hint of a struggle. While Gayle made a 128*, Kohli was unbeaten on 73.

Match Result: RCB won by 21 runs
