Virat Kohli Birthday: Top 5 partnerships Kohli has been a part of

#4 AB de Villiers (229 runs against Gujarat Lions)

Kohli and de Villiers put Gujarat to the sword

Kohli and AB de Villiers form the most destructive pair in the world right now, as they complement each other so vividly. They were at the forefront of another massacre in IPL earlier this year, as they recorded the highest partnership ever in T20 cricket at the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.

They scored 229 runs together, breaking their own record of 215 set the previous year. Kohli was in tremendous form in the last season, scoring an incredible four centuries and winning the Orange Cap in the process. Gujarat Lions were at the receiving end and went on to lose the match by a huge margin of 144 runs. Kohli scored 109 off 55 balls, whereas ABD remained unbeaten on 129 off just 52 balls.
