Highest partnership in IPL: Virat Kohli & AB de Villiers 229 Runs Partnership

July 2, 2021 by Admin Leave a Comment

The Indian Premier League (IPL) has shown some terrible batting in its history. The shortest format of the game, T20, is said to be more batsman-friendly. Even the best bowlers have gone out of the park many times in the tournament. It is the batsmen and their ability to accelerate that play a key role in T20 cricket.

But one man cannot carry the team. Unique brilliance has rarely been known to win trophies. It won the match, yes. But it takes a team to win the trophy. So every good batter needs someone to complement or match him. That’s why partnership is important. Partnerships decide the outcome of a game.

1. Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers – 229 (Royal Challengers Bangalore vs Gujarat Lions)

Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers

It was another demonstration of the perfect dominance of Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers, but this time it was against the Gujarat Lions. RCB lost to Gayle before batting in the fourth over of the innings. That’s when the show got better and started. With Gujarat and De Villiers at the crease, the Gujarat Lions bowlers could not help.

Despite playing in hot conditions in Bangalore, they both broke a sweat as they sent bowling attacks all over the field. Crowds of people flocking to watch their favorite team play were considered a final spectacle. Kohli and de Villiers scored 109 and 129, respectively, as the Indian captain was dismissed in the last over of the innings.

The Lions had to chase a total of 249 runs to win. Their morale was shattered after the first innings performance from the RCB, as the Bangalore-based team won by 144 runs, and they were bowled out for 104 by Poultry.

2. Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers – 215* (Royal Challengers Bangalore vs Mumbai Indians)

Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers - 215*

At their final top, there is no better batter than Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers. What’s even worse is when they’re at the crease together. They have repeatedly shown the whole world that they are the worst nightmare of every bowler. From scintillating shots to quick runs between wickets, these two greats put every weapon in their arsenal.

The game against Mumbai Indians in Mumbai is proof of this fact. For once, Chris Gayle failed to play big innings, but Kohli and de Villiers delivered well. Kohli and de Villiers scored 72 and 133 runs, respectively. Harbhajan Singh and Hardik Pandya combined for 71 runs in five overs.

Chasing a strong total of 235 runs, Mumbai Indians have never been in the game as Rohit Sharma and teammates. Harshal Patel, bowled by RCB for two wickets, was limited to 196 runs.

3. Adam Gilchrist and Shaun Marsh – 206 (Kings XI Punjab vs Royal Challengers Bangalore)

Adam Gilchrist and Shaun Marsh - 206

After Paul Valthaty’s wicket, Adam Gilchrist and Shaun Marsh came down to post a competitive total for Punjab against a strong RCB batting lineup. And they did. There was absolute anarchy from the Australian pair as it paid for every RCB bowler in the menacing mood.

With two left-handers at the crease, it was as aesthetically pleasing as it could be. Don’t forget the perfect dominance, though Gilchrist hit 100 off 55 balls with nine highs, including a 122-meter six against Charles Langvelt. Shaun Marsh continued his great form and remained unbeaten on 79 runs.

Piyush Chawla took four wickets for Kings XI Punjab, beating the RCB batting lineup by 121 runs, including Chir Gayle, Virat Kohli, and AB de Villiers.

4. Chris Gayle and Virat Kohli – 204* (Royal Challengers Bangalore vs Delhi Daredevils)

Chris Gayle and Virat Kohli - 204*

Virat Kohli and Chris Gayle hold the record for the fourth-highest partnership in the history of the IPL. It came in a match against the Delhi Daredevils, where Delhi won the toss and decided to allow Royal Challengers Bangalore to bat first. This proved to be a wrong decision as RCB would have to post a huge score of 215 for an unbeaten 204-run partnership between Kohli and Gayle.

That year Gayle was the whole nation in the storm, and Gayle delivered again to Delhi. The Daredevils roared after opener Tillakaratne Dilshan was dismissed early. Confidence was running high, but then Virat Kohli came to the crease and could no longer look back at RCB’s Stallworth with Gilly. The economy rate was more than 9.5, with six sixes in each region of every Delhi bowler’s stadium.

Gayle and Kohli are unbeaten on 126 and 73, respectively. Ross Taylor was the only Delhi batsman to score 50 runs after defeating the hosts by 21 runs. Zaheer Khan picked the bowlers for the team with three wickets for Bangalore.

5. David Warner and Naman Ojha – 189* (Delhi Daredevils vs Deccan Chargers)

David Warner and Naman Ojha - 189*

After setting a target of 188 for the performance of Shikhar Dhawan and Cameron White for the Deccan Chargers, the Delhi Daredevils batsmen were instrumental in guiding the team to victory. The Delhi-based team like Virender Sehwag, David Warner, Andre Russell, Naman Ojha and others had the firepower to do the job.

David Warner appeared in the second season for the Daredevils and opened the innings with Virender Sehwag. Ryan Harris dismissed Virender Sehwag in the second ball of the innings when the Chargers had no hope. But was immediately squashed. Warner and Ojha separated the Duncan Chargers bowlers as they scored their second century for the former franchise.

It was a show of devastating batting as Delhi chased the score to save more than three overs. Naman Ojha scored an unbeaten 64 in the second Fidel game in Warner’s incredible innings.

6. Jonny Bairstow and David Warner – 185 (Sunrisers Hyderabad vs RCB)

Jonny Bairstow and David Warner - 185

During IPL 2019, Sunrisers Hyderabad openers Johnny Bairstow and David Warner have registered their names in the IPL record book after playing centuries of centuries against RCB.

Warner hit an unbeaten 100 off 54 balls with four fours and five sixes. So second, Johnny Bairstow made 114 off 11 fours and six sixes off 56 hits in the stormy innings of his first IPL century. Hyderabad recorded the highest score in the IPL and scored 231-2 in 20 overs. By the end, the RCB team was all out for 113 runs and lost by 118 runs.

7. Gautam Gambhir and Chris Lynn – 184* (Kolkata Knight Riders vs Gujarat Lions)

Shane Watson and Faf Du Plesis - 181*

In IPL 2020, Chennai Super Kings opener batsmen Faf du Plessis and Shane Watson shared 181, the highest opening partnership in IPL, for the first wicket. This proved to be CSK’s biggest partnership in the IPL. Shane scored an unbeaten 83 off 53 balls with 11 boundaries and three sixes, and Duplessis scored an unbeaten 87 off 53 balls with 11 boundaries and 1 six.

10. Shikhar Dhawan and Kane Williamson – 176* (Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Delhi Capitals)
