List of 200+ Run Partnerships in IPL History 

Highest 200+ run partnerships in IPL history : Scoring over 200 runs in a 20 over T20 match is seen as very tough, even for the best teams.

But some epic batting in IPL has achieved 200+ run partnerships, defying expectations!Most teams feel they have batted well if they make 170-180 runs.

Chasing such big totals under pressure is even tougher. For two batsmen to stay in and put together a 200+ partnership seems almost impossible.But IPL has seen some all-time great batters achieve this through their brilliant hitting and understanding.
