Now it has been a habit for the Indian cricket fans to witness the prowess of Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers together in each passing season of the Indian Premier League (IPL). The duo has been mesmerizing their fans with their unbelievable batting when they join hands on the cricket field. A similar thing happened during the game between Delhi Daredevils (DD) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) when they stitched a partnership of more than 100 runs to dominate the chase of 181 runs. However, both were so special on the day that even the CEO of Google, Sundar Pichai praised he duo terming himself as lucky to watch them batting.
RCB’s fortunes were in doldrums after their openers were back in the hut early in the innings which brought Kohli and De Villiers to the crease. Both took their time first to got their eyes in before starting to go berserk over the bowlers. While the former smashed 70 runs off just 40 balls, the South African star made sure there were no more hiccups in the chase and remained unbeaten until the end on 72 eventually winning the Man of the Match award as well.
