Hyderabad: Jonny Bairstow and David Warner broke the record for the highest opening partnership in the Indian Premier League (IPL) when they went past 184 against Royal Challengers Bangalore in Hyderabad on Sunday. The record was held by Gautam Gambhir and Chris Lynn when they added an unbroken 184-run stand against Gujarat Lions.
On April 7, 2017 Gambhir and Lynn chased down a target of 184 in Rajkot against Gujarat Lions without. While Lynn remained unbeaten on 93 off 41 balls, Gambhir was 76 not out off 48 balls. That was Gambhir's last season with KKR before he moved to Delhi Daredevils.
