#4 Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers
The two are rivals when they face each other in national colours. However, when they come together for IPL side Royal Challengers Bangalore, the world gets to witness their bromance.
The Proteas captain who plays under Kohli's stewardship in the IPL, forms the spine of RCB's batting along with the Indian and Gayle. Not just their great partnerships together, but the way they gel on the field shows the bond between the two players.
They are both admirers of each others’ achievements and get along off the field as well, hanging out together more often than not during the IPLs.
Their alliance off the field also helps them complement each other while batting together and are any bowling opposition's nightmare when in full swing. Kohli recently shared an image of the South African and himself and had this to say:
“Very few people in my life have connected with me like my dear friend AB and i share the most wonderful bond with this great man. So much to learn from him all the time. If you ever want a role model for any walk of life, he is IT.” Certainly, best friends for life!
