The Indian Premier League record for the highest partnership is held by Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers, who added 229 runs together in 2016 for Royal Challengers Bengaluru. The pair also features again on the list with another massive stand, showing their dominance during that season.
Close behind them are KL Rahul and Nitish Rana, who recently stitched a superb 220-run partnership. Their effort now stands as the second-highest in IPL history, just short of the all-time record.
