Royal Challengers Bangalore legends Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers time and time again have batted like a dream together in the Indian Premier League. The twosome has helped revolutionised T20 cricket with their breathtaking batting over the years. When the two bat in tandem you just can’t take your eyes off as they match each other shots per shots in the biggest T20 extravaganza in the world.
Two wizards who have contrasting styles but share familiar quality and that is to make runs anywhere and everywhere. It’s like watching a tennis match between Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal. Cricket fans are extremely lucky as they saw two of the greatest batsman of all time play together every year at the summit of their careers.

Ab de Villiers is the ultimate freak as the South African has the capability of scoring at every corner of the ground. He can reverse scoop a fast bowler over the third man for a six and in the next ball he could slog sweep him on the roof of the stadium.
Virat Kohli, on the other hand, is textbook and completely the opposite as he will initially take his time, pinch those singles and doubles and then put the hammer down. The Bangalore skipper will score at a strike of over 150 by playing proper cricketing shots and can deposit the bowlers regularly in the stand. Virat will hit all his shots in front of the wicket in the V whereas, ABD will score behind the wicket and leave everybody spellbound.
Here are some of the greatest partnerships Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers have shared in their nine years journey in the IPL:
