Growing up, marvel comics always taught me that Batman and Superman were always the good guys. They fought the same war, for the same goals and at times, for similar women. Recently, I came across an article that stated that if AB de Villiers was Superman, then ViratKohli was batman. This one struck a chord in m system, especially a someone who takes pride in the fact that he grew up watching these two superheroes in action.

While it wasn’t really Batman v Superman as far these two immensely talented RCB players were concerned, it was surely batman and superman when they absolutely decimated the Gujarat Lions bowlers. While de Villiers and Kohli absolutely hate the idea of smashing sixes, the more they hit the ball into the stands, the more invincible they looked. Hitting the ball into the crowd seemed the safest proposition for these two. They slammed twin centuries, perhaps the only time it had happened in the IPL history as we know it. They added 229 for the second wicket in just 90 odd deliveries. A miracle maybe?
