Every team tries its best to choose the top players to create a strong team to win any tournament. While the Indian Premier League (IPL) is one of the most successful leagues in the cricket world, every franchise gives the value of creating powerful team combinations.
However, there are some powerful two-member combinations who have never played together in the IPL but the fans will love to watch them in the same team in future.
Her we are talking about top five combinations that the fans will want to see in the future IPL
AB de Villiers and Andre Russell
While the former South African captain AB de Villiers can single-handedly destroy his opponents with the bat, the Caribbean all-rounder has also the same nature in the middle-order batting, and he can also play the useful role as a right-arm medium pacer. Both have achieved great successes in their IPL career.
After serving for the Delhi Daredevils (DD) from 2008 to 2010, De Villiers is continuously playing for the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) since 2011 in a top-form. After playing 154 IPL matches, he has scored 4395 runs (average 39.95; strike-rate 151.23), including three centuries and 33 half-centuries.
On the other hand, while Russell also started his IPL career for the Delhi Daredevils where he played between 2012 and 2013, he is now serving for the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) since 2014. Since 2015, Russell has successfully managed to express himself in this cash-rich tournament as he has already won two Most Valuable Player awards (2015 and 2019). After playing 64 IPL matches, Russell has scored 1400 runs (average 33.33; strike-rate 186.41) and also taken 55 wickets. As a middle-order batsman, Russell has hit eight half-centuries.
While both of them are in great forms, it will be a dream treat for the fans if this combination plays together for the same IPL team.
