Highest partnerships in IPL from 2008 to 2025

Once a pair sets its eyes on the crease, they can aim for big shots and accelerate the pace of innings as well.

The IPL has changed how T20 cricket is played with its fast-paced action, exciting finishes, and star-studded lineups. While power-hitting and quick wickets are often fun to watch, partnerships between batters still play a crucial role in building a strong total or successfully chasing down a target. However, due to the nature of T20 cricket, long partnerships are rare, making the record-breaking stands in IPL history more special.

A solid partnership can change the course of a match, providing stability and momentum at crucial times. Whether it's an opening stand that provides a solid start or a middle-order one that anchors the innings, partnerships hold immense importance. In a tournament where teams consist of world-class bowlers, trying to stay at the crease for the longest time is a significant challenge. Yet, over the years, there have been instances when two batters have complemented each other perfectly, stitching memorable stands and creating new records.

Some of these record-breaking partnerships have come in high-pressure situations, where two batters take their team out of crisis. The duo has dominated bowlers, clearing ropes with ease. These stands display not just individual brilliance but also the camaraderie between teammates, understanding each other's strengths, rotating the strike brilliantly, and capitalizing on scoring opportunities.
