IPL: Highest Partnership For Each Wicket In The Tournament

The fever of IPL is set to begin soon as IPL 2022 is scheduled to commence on March 26. Chennai Super Kings and Kolkata Knight Riders will lock horns in the opening game at Wankhede Cricket Stadium in Mumbai. This time, the tournament is going to be much more exciting and entertaining with the addition of two new teams.

Since every team has only 20 overs to bat, batsmen often focus on smashing quickfire knocks instead of building big partnerships. However, there have been few matches that witnessed good partnerships. Here we take a look at the highest partnership for each wicket in IPL.
