His partnership with RCB skipper Faf du Plessis was one of the highlights of the entire season. The pair became the joint-highest partnership run scorers in a single season of the Indian Premier League (IPL).
They reached this milestone during their side's IPL 2023 match against Gujarat Titans (GT) on Sunday at Bengaluru.
The duo continued their consistent run in IPL this season, putting up a stand of 67 runs for the first wicket before skipper Faf Du Plessis was dismissed by Noor Ahmed for 28 runs.
With this, the duo's run tally as an opening duo soared to 939 runs this season, the joint-most by any pair, let alone an opening pair in the history of this league. They have three centuries and five half-century stands this season.
The RCB duo of Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers also had 939 runs as a pair in the 2016 edition of the IPL. (ANI)
