Put into bat by Rajasthan Royals captain Sanju Samson, Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis put up a 125-run opening stand in a brilliant display of power-hitting. The 125-run partnership was not only the highest partnership of IPL 2024, but Kohli and Plessis added more runs today (as a pair) than they collectively managed across the last four innings (124).
