They say Cricket is a game in which you've always got a partner by your side. Cricketers produce breath-taking partnerships on the field and bond over various things off the field. Regardless of which country they come from, what culture they follow, players seem to be united. After all, it's the love for the game that connects them. And they often end up being each other's confidants. Let's have a look at the Top 10 Friendships that started off the field:

1. Virat Kohli And Ab De Villiers

This duo got along while playing for Royal Challengers Bangalore in the IPL; they have churned out some magnificent partnerships on the field. They are indeed the lifelines of this franchise.

Their families are often spotted together and spend the whole IPL season together.

2. Ms Dhoni And Suresh Raina

Popularly known as Thala and Chinna Thala, respectively, by the Chennai Super Kings fans. This cricketing duo has produced some match-winning partnerships on the field for both India and CSK. Raina is said to be Captain Cool's best friend, not only because of their excellent understanding but also because of the bond they share. Raina was the first to know about Dhoni's Test Retirement. It looks like their daughters have inherited this bond, too, as those munchkins often get seen having a good time together.

They are vocal about their friendship, and they never hesitate to show their brotherly love for each other.
