'This is like Ronaldo and Messi playing together,' Twitter goes mad after De Villiers-Kohli carnage

There's something with Royal Challengers Bangalore's (RCB) 'green' jersey which they wear every season for one game to commemorate the 'go green' spirit in them and spread awareness of protecting the environment. In the year 2013, Chris Gayle wearing a green jersey had set the Chinnaswamy roof on fire when he blazed to a 66 ball 175 against the now defunct Pune Warriors India (PWI) and on Saturday at that very stadium AB De Villiers and Virat Kohli spelled absolute carnage by stitching together the highest T20 partnership (229 runs) and scoring individual hundreds in the process.

WORLD RECORD: The partnership between Kohli and De Villiers is the highest in T20 cricket. They break their own record (215*) set in 2015.

Virat Kohli can play every shot that's in the cricket book. Ab De Villiers can play every shot that's not in the cricket book.

Best way to get @ABdeVilliers17 off strike is to give him a single. But then it means you are bowling to @imVkohli

— Harsha Bhogle (@bhogleharsha) May 14, 2016

100 off 43 balls - 5th fastest century in IPL history. #RCBvGL

I pity those cricket watchers who ignore IPL saying "it isn't cricket". You really are missing something special. ABDV is sheer genius.

Mercy...Mercy crying the bowlers. The guy selling helmets in the crowd having a great day. The ABDV-Kohli show. #RCBvGL #IPL

It takes a man with special talent to overshadow Virat Kohli. AB Devilliers, take a bow. Superman. #RCBvGL
