AB De Villiers holds yet another record: he's the only player to feature in more than one highest partnership by wicket.

As seen in the previous slide, he was involved in the highest second wicket partnership with Virat Kohli in the massive 229-run stand against Gujarat Lions. But he was also part of the highest 4th wicket partnership, which he shared with Yuvraj Singh against Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2014.

After losing skipper Virat Kohli, opener Chris Gayle and Vijay Zol when the team's score was 40, the two experienced batsmen seized control and built a solid partnership. De Villiers scored 58 off 32 balls while Yuvi sizzled with a 38-ball 83.

Yuvraj was dismissed by Kane Richardson when the team's score was 172, breaking the 132-run stand. ABD was dismissed in the last over by James Faulkner.

Yuvraj starred with the ball as well and picked up 4 wickets in his 4 overs conceding 35 runs, but RCB suffered a shock loss as Steve Smith and James Faulkner smashed 65 runs off the last 23 balls to win the game with a ball to spare.
