RCB 248/3 Vs GL 104

This was a day to be remembered in the history of IPL, as two outstanding cricketers orchestrated mayhem by scoring glorious hundreds. Hell broke loose in the final 10 overs, as Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers wrecked absolute carnage against Gujarat Lions at Chinnaswamy Stadium.

Records fell like ninepins as the pair stitched together a magnificent 229 run partnership, which eclipsed the duo's own record of 215 set against Mumbai Indians and propelled RCB to 248.

De Villiers smashed a sparkling unbeaten 129 off 52 balls with 10 fours and 12 maximums, while Kohli hit an equally-brilliant 109 off 55 deliveries containing five fours and eight hits over the fence.
