Partnerships are key to making big totals

#1 Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers- 239

Enter — The duo has the record for the highest partnership for any wicket in IPL

The AB-Virat duo bettered their own records a year later. The 2016 Go Green Match between the RCB and Gujarat Lions was a delight for fans who come to see batting of the topmost quality.

During the record partnership as many as 20 sixes were hit: 12 by ABD and 8 by Kohli. Both the greats looked in superb touch and were at the peak of their stroke-making abilities on the day.

This was the first instance where 2 batsmen had scored centuries in a single IPL game. The final team total of 248 was the second-highest team total registered ever, with the highest ever also belonging to the RCB.

Match Result: RCB won by 144 runs
