Highest Opening Partnership in IPL: In cricket, whether it’s T20 or Test cricket, partnerships are extremely important for batting teams, especially the opening partnerships. In addition to giving a team a head start, a solid partnership at the top establishes a solid platform from which later batsmen can launch their innings. To win the big, high-pressure games, partnerships are crucial, even if an individual performance propels the team to some victories.
Throughout the years, the IPL has seen some stunning opening partnerships, and this year has already seen some record-breaking ones. Here are the Top 5 highest opening partnerships in the history of the IPL.
