#5 2 Double Century Stands in T20s - Virat Kohli and AB De Villers

Virat Kohli and AB De Villers: A Fan's Dream

Virat Kohli and AB De Villers are the two batting pillars of RCB. There friendship is well known and they love batting with each other. Once they get going, it's a nightmare for the bowlers, but a treat to the fans. If Virat plays orthodox shots, ABD manufactures shots and together they make a mockery of line, length and bowling plans. Virat believes in pacing his innings before going big whereas ABD can go ballistic from any given point of time. This makes them the hottest pair in T20s and they have had some mammoth partnerships.

215-run stand versus Mumbai Indians in 2015

Virat and ABD had their first 200-run partnership against Mumbai Indians in Wankhede when they annihilated the Mumbai bowling with a 215-run stand, when Kohli scored 82 and ABD scored 133. Their partnership helped RCB reach 235 and Mumbai could manage 196, giving RCB a 39-run win.

229-run stand versus Gujarat Lions in 2016

Virat and ABD's second 200-run stand came against Gujarat Lions, when both scored centuries. Virat's 109 and ABD's unbeaten 129 was a feast for the fans in Chinnaswamy where it was boundaries and sixes galore. Together they scored 15 boundaries and 20 sixes in their 229-run stand, which is also the highest ever in T20 cricket. Scoring 200 is difficult for a team and here two freaks had a partnership of 229. Gujarat were psychologically dented and they got bowled out for 104, handing a RCB a 144-run win.
